COP 26 / CMP 16 / CMA 3 Ministerial consultations

This space was used by the COP 26 Presidency to provide information on the ministerial consultations held during the conference.

Advanced unedited versions of COP 26 / CMP 16 / CMA 3 decisions can be found 

In keeping with longstanding UNFCCC tradition, the President invited pairs of Ministers to lead informal consultations on outstanding issues benefitting from political guidance. In choosing Ministers to undertake this important task, the President tried to ensure a balanced representation; not only among developed and developing countries but also gender balance.

The consultations by the Ministers will be carried out through informal meetings to allow for maximum flexibility. The Ministers may wish to issue informal documents under their own authority, should they feel this will help and they have been asked to work towards rapidly progressing on texts that reflect consensus, underlining that the mode and pace of work must push work forward.

Our common objective is to adopt consensus decisions and conclusions on Friday that will constitute the comprehensive, ambitious and balanced outcome of the Glasgow sessions.
