This Major Economies Meeting is taking place in Paris, France, April 17 and 18, and is the third official “Major Economies Meeting” (MEM)

The first MEM was held in Washington, DC in September 2007. Reactions by foreign officials to the September meeting expressed disappointment in the lack of new initiatives put forward by the Bush administration, and general ambivalence about continued participation in such meetings. Participation in a second meeting was conditioned upon a successful conclusion of UNFCCC talks in Bali. The second MEM was held in Honolulu, Hawaii in January 2008. Reactions to this meeting were less negative than the first, indicating that there has been useful exchange of ideas, but no tangible outcomes. An informal MEM was also held in Chiba, Japan in March 2008, with a small subset of participant countries focused on drafting a leaders’ statement possibly to be released this summer.
The Paris proceedings are largely closed to the press and completely closed to NGO participation. Requests for NGO observer status were denied.

16 Participants have been invited—Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, and the United Kingdom
The countries most at risk from impacts of climate change – the least-developed and small island developing countries – are not even invited to be at the table for this conference. In total, over 160 UN countries are excluded.

A workshop will be held in conjunction with the Paris MEM to explore “sectoral” approaches to climate change. The Bush Administration and Japan have been strong proponents of addressing climate change emissions from specific sectors. This idea has not been widely accepted and there is no shared or established understanding about what is meant by a sectoral approach, how it would relate to a binding national target for developed countries, and how it would apply to developing country emissions. The 1-day workshop was organized by the French government and the French think tank IDDRI and will take place in the Centre de Conferences International on April 16th.
