Ms. Patricia Espinosa Cantellano, Mexico's former Secretary of Foreign Affairs (2006-2012) and the Chair of COP16, spoke at UNU on 5 July 2010 on Mexico's preparations for the COP16 climate summit held in Cancún later that year.

Ms. Espinosa's lecture followed former Mexican President Felipe Calderón's February 2010 U Thant Distinguished Lecture at UNU Headquarters in which the President emphasized the need to rebuild confidence and trust following the disappointing COP15 climate summit in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009.

In her lecture, Ms. Espinosa stressed the need for inclusive dialogue, especially with least developed countries, island states, and the private sector, as a key component in the quest for a binding agreement in Cancún.
