In consultation with the Host Country and responding to numerous queries from participants, the Climate Change Secretariat would like to propose that the dress code for participants at the upcoming Conference be adapted to take into account the warm and humid conditions in Cancun. The temperature in Cancun ranges from 18° C to 27° C in December and humidity is over 85 per cent.
The President designate, Her Excellency Ms. Patricia Espinosa and Ms. Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, have exempted secretariat staff from wearing jackets and ties. The secretariat and President designate invite participants to follow suit.
Male participants are invited to wear the traditional regional shirt from Southeastern Mexico called "Guayabera". Guayaberas are easily available in Cancún. Ladies are invited to wear also traditional light cotton dresses.

There’s only one problem: none of the journalists who made these claims has seen it.
I checked with as many of them as I could reach by phone: all they had read was a press release, which, though three pages long, is almost content-free(4). The reporters can’t be blamed for this: though it was approved on Friday, the declaration has still not been published. I’ve now pursued people on three continents to try to obtain it, without success.
