The 18th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP18) and the 8th session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 8) opened on 26 November and continued until 8 December 2012 in Doha, Qatar. This meeting is a new step in the development of the international regime on climate change. The moment is significant because the first commitment period of Kyoto Protocol is ended.
The main decisions adopted by COP18-CMP8 are: the progress made in the negotiations of a new global instrument on climate change; the adoption of the second commitment period of Kyoto Protocol; and the development of the financial mechanism of climate change.
