Environment Ministers and High Officials from 28 countries and the European Commission met at Riksgränsen, Sweden, June 11-14 2007, for an informal discussion on international cooperative action on climate change. This meeting was the third in a series of similar informal dialogues in Greenland in 2005 and in South Africa last year. The purpose of these meetings is to allow ministers to have in depth discussions on key issues related to the future of international cooperation on climate change. No consensus is sought and no agreed conclusions are adopted: the aim is to increase understanding of the views of different countries in order to enhance prospects for agreements in forthcoming negotiations. The discussions at Riksgränsen focused both on long term issues regarding principles and elements of a future international climate change regime as well as concrete questions relating to the preparations for the important meetings of the Convention on Climate change and the Kyoto Protocol to be held in Indonesia in December 2007.
