The Government of Mexico has the responsibility of hosting and organizing the sixteenth session of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP16) and the sixth session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP6). Both meetings will be held in Cancun, Mexico, from November 29th to December 10th, 2010.

Therefore, the Federal Government has decided to create the Climate Change Village, a space to promote dialogue related to environmental issues amongst non-governmental organizations, the private sector and civil society.

The Village will be held from November 27th to December 12th, 2010. It will include multimedia exhibitions related to climate change, movie projections, screenings of the COP16 sessions and exhibition stands by sponsors and other companies interested in promoting clean technologies.

Moreover, there will be cultural and artistic shows, as well as the music festival “Cantando por el Planeta”, discussion panels for non-governmental organizations and a series of conferences given by experts.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico extends the invitation to civil society members and organizations as well as the media to participate in this 16 day event.

The Climate Change Village will be located in Blvd. Luis Donaldo Colosio, Km. 7.5 de la Carretera Cancún-Chetumal, Benito Juárez Cancún, Quintana Roo.

Is the Climate Village the same as the Eco-Village??
