Climate change poses one of the greatest challenges to mankind. The impacts of climate change are affecting our world with increasing severity. The situation calls for closer cooperation among countries in pursing both mitigation and adaptation simultaneously. That is why this forum is timely. Myanmar believes that it will provide us an opportunity to exchange views and ideas for the implementation of low carbon measures. We fully support cooperation on low carbon development.
