The 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is now in progress in the sunny city of Durban, South Africa. This conference has been occurring annually since 1995 to assess progress in dealing with climate change and to make decisions and resolutions on the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol.
