The UN climate conference in Copenhagen in December this year may not yield a new global climate treaty with every minor detail in place. But hopefully it will close with agreements on four political essentials, thereby creating a clarity the world – not least the financially struck business world – needs.
A meeting of the world’s major economies to boost international negotiations ahead of December’s UN climate change conference in Copenhagen will take place in London on October 18 and 19.
"Real commitment from all countries is needed to secure a breakthrough deal."
At COP15 Copenhagen conference some 190 nations are set to negotiate a successor to the emissions-capping Kyoto Protocol.
In addition to government representatives the press, IGOs and NGOs can be admitted and participate in the COP15 conference.
