The Paris Accord Round II

23-24 October, 2009

Version 10-22-09

The Paris According meeting on October 23-24 will feature an opening and closing panel, and presentations by the seven negotiating clusters. Each has been asked to present the draft Paris Accord text for their cluster.

The focus will be on identifying areas where consumers and creative and inventive communities can work closer together.  Several of the clusters will also present specific ideas about how the Paris Accord text might be implemented in concrete ways, including specific proposals for financing investments in knowledge as a public good.
