Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – China’s contribution to the “economic architecture” of a global agreement on climate change is the focus of Geneva-China Dialogue 2008, which takes place at the WMO offices in Geneva 27-28 November.

The annual conference in Geneva is hosted by ICTSD (International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development) and is the main meeting point for international organizations, businesses, governments and other interested parties, from China and around the world, to discuss trade and sustainable development issues in relation to China. The conference will look at the growing importance of China in international agreements to reduce the impact of CO2 emissions, but also on China’s overall approach to climate change.
