A next round of UN-sponsored global climate change negotiations - the Bangkok Climate Change Talks 2008 - is set to begin in Bangkok, Thailand on 31 March 2008. These talks will  move forward a set of decisions called the “Bali Roadmap”, adopted at the UN Climate Change Conference held in Bali in December 2007. On the one hand, the Bangkok Climate Change Talks are expected to establish a clear work programme for a negotiation process on strengthened international action against climate change, established under the Bali Roadmap. On the other hand, talks on further commitments for Kyoto Protocol Parties will include considering the possible tools available to industrialised countries to reach future emission reductions. The two processes are set to culminate in a strengthened and effective international climate change deal, to be clinched at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in 2009.
