COP 15 IN COPENHAGEN DECEMBER 2009

Denmark will host United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP-15) in Copenhagen Dec 7 - Dec 18 2009.

Conference of the Parties (COP) is the supreme forum for international decisions and protocols under The UN Climate Convention.

The existing obligations on CO2 emissions under the existing Kyoto Protocol expire in 2012.

COP-15 in Copenhagen in December 2009 will be a decisive conference where ministers and other representatives from over 170 countries will negotiate a new International Climate Change Agreement to counter the threat from global warming. The signatory countries of the UN Climate Convention have decided that the negotiations of a new International Climate Change Agreement should be concluded at COP-15.

The Danish Govenment has the ambition that the Copenhagen Climate Change Agreement should commit the signatory countries to reach targets, undertake action and provide finance. The developed countries should take the lead.

A large number of heads of state and government has already accepted Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen's invitation to attend the climate change conference in the Danish capital. For more information about COP-15 click here
