The United Nations Climate Change Conference ('''COP 11''' or '''COP/MOP 1''') was a global event which took place at the Palais Des Congrès De Montréal in Montreal , Quebec , Canada from November 28 to December 9 , 2005 . The meeting, the 11th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention On Climate Change (UNFCCC), was also the first Meeting of the Parties (MOP) to the Kyoto Protocol since their initial meeting in Kyoto in 1997. It was therefore one of the largest intergovernmental conferences on Climate Change ever. The event marked the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol. Hosting more than 10,000 delegates, it was one of Canada's largest international events ever and the largest gathering in Montreal since Expo 67 . Pundits, such as Rex Murphy pointed out the irony, that a convention based to prevent global warming was hosted in Canada, with temperates well below average. In addition, the 10,000 who flew in, and the CO2 emmissions resulting from there travel. EXTERNAL LINKS
