Thirty decisions were reached during the first Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP/MOP 1) that was held November 29 to December 9, 2005 in conjunction with the eleventh Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 11), which reached 14 decisions. This package of decisions was named the "Montreal Action Plan" by Stephane Dion, President of COP 11 and COP/MOP 1. The Plan is a "clear roadmap" for international cooperation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to develop approaches to cope with consequences of climate changes. It also has established a forum to find innovative solutions. Prepared in cooperation with Battelle Columbus Operations, OH.
