What is the difference between the Gleneagles Dialogue and the G8+5 climate change dialogue?
The Gleneagles Dialogue is an official governmental process which was agreed at Gleneagles during the UK’s G8 presidency. This process, involving 20 of the largest energy consuming countries, is a three-year dialogue on “climate change, clean energy and sustainable development” which will report back to the G8 during the Japanese presidency in 2008.
