The General Debate of the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) convened from 25 September-3 October 2007 at UN headquarters in New York, US, gathering more than 190 heads of State and other high-level political leaders of all UN member States.
Many speakers discussed the upcoming UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) conference in Bali, Indonesia, in December 2007, urging participants to agree on a clear road map for establishing a future global framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, to succeed the Kyoto Protocol in 2012. In addition, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva offered to host a summit on the environment in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, entitled the Rio +20 Conference, two decades after the landmark international UN Conference on Environment and Development.
