This volume features a collection of documents pertaining to the Group of 77’s commentary and efforts on global climate governance beginning in the early 1990s and continuing through 2018. It provides a record of the Global South’s coordination and joint positions in the climate arena, and its participation in discussions and negotiations at the United Nations, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Like the previous volumes in the series, Volume VII of The Collected Documents of the Group of 77 at the United Nations offers a unique selection of materials, some of which are unavailable in any other format. Since its founding in 1964, the Group of 77 has worked to provide a voice for developing countries so as to give greater resonance to their shared aspirations. Over almost six decades, the Group of 77 has solidified the Global South as a coalition of nations, aspiring for a global partnership for peace and development.

Documenting the Global South’s contributions to the ever evolving efforts to combat climate change, The Collected Documents of the Group of 77 Volume VII is a valuable record for diplomats, UN staff, and scholars of public international law and climate governance.
