Background
While this was conference in the annual series, more attention is directed towards the 2015 conference in Paris. A statement made by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon forecast the climate change summit to be held in September 2014, but made no organizational reference to the 2014 conference in Lima or the Paris conference.[3]
Negotiations
Politics of oil producing countries
Before the Conference on Climate Change, oil producing countries increased the oil production and oil became cheaper than it had been for years.[6]
