Informal open-ended consultations on the expectations for COP
23
On Saturday, 13 May, the incoming-Presidency held open-ended informal consultations on the
expectations for COP 23. Ambassador Nazhat Khan, accompanied by Minister Inia Seruiratu and
Ambassador Deo Saran, assured Parties and observers that the incoming-Presidency would maintain
an open-door policy. Furthermore, the incoming-Presidency committed to organizing a transparent
and inclusive process.
Parties and observers focused on the importance of defining the format and content of the
Facilitative Dialogue and on advancing on the Paris Agreement work programme.
Ambassador Khan closed by inviting everyone to work through the process of
“talanoa”. Talanoa is derived from tala, meaning “talking or telling
stories”, and noa, meaning “zero or without concealment.” It refers to a
process of strengthening relationships based on understanding and collaboration, allowing for
an honest and open dialogue.
