On 19 November 2007, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) met at UN headquarters in New York, US, to take action on a draft resolution (A/62/L.11/Rev.1) submitted by UNGA President Srgjan Kerim, requesting the Secretary-General to prepare a comprehensive report of the UN systems’ activities in relation to climate change.
UN member States adopted the resolution without a vote. The resolution originates from the consensus reached during the general debate of the 62nd UNGA session, under the theme “Responding to Climate Change,” to develop a global response to climate change. The report is expected to provide an important input for the thematic debate on climate change scheduled for early February 2008.
