COP 15
Written by admin on October 14th, 2008
In a little over a year from now Copenhagen/Denmark will host a global climate meeting the so-called COP15 (Conference of Parties). The Danish Government’s goal is to enter into a binding global climate agreement at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, November 30-December 11, 2009.
The agreement will apply to the period after 2012. The ambition is for the agreement to include as many countries as possible, and that the agreement must contribute to a reduction in man-made greenhouse gases which have a negative effect on our climate system.
The COP15 consists of environment ministers who meet once a year to discuss the convention’s developments. “It is expected that ministers and officials from 189 countries will take part.” At least 10,000 people, including from countries with observer status, industry groups and non-government organizations are expected to attend the conference.

Hej Kristian,
Jeg intressere mig også for klimaændring og har skrevet masser om hvad der sker med vores miljø. Jeg synes din blog er meget interessant og er meget imponeret over hvad danskerne har gjort for at finde en løsning til problemet. Det er bare en skam at Canada har gjort så lidt og bliver ved med at forhindre samarbejde som det i Bali og København. Hvis du har lyst til at snakke vidre, send mig en mail. Undskyld hvis mit dansk ikke er helt perfekt…jeg har boet hele livet her i Canada. Mvh, Frants
