The two-week conference in Katowice is expected to determine how governments can report on their efforts to reduce green gas emission and keep global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius.
Host Poland will propose a declaration on Monday for a "just transition" away from coal mining, the supplier of its main source of energy, to take into consideration the situation of people employed in the sector.
Critics say the declaration should more broadly cover all aspects of transition from fossil fuels to green energy.
