    • Abstract:
      The article offers information about the Bali Action Plan formed during the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Denmark. The Bali Action Plan recognizes the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that global warming is unequivocal and that reducing emissions can stabilize climate change. As such, the plan calls for a negotiating process on global emission cuts that will conclude in a post-2012 international agreement on climate change. However, some were disappointed that the plan does not set specific goals for emissions reduction.
