UN climate change Conference 2009, Copenhagen

U.N. officials, climate experts, environmental activists, and leaders of more than 100 nations gather in Copenhagen, Denmark for a two-week conference on climate change beginning 7 December.


The participants will try to reach a new international accord on reducing greenhouse gas emissions that would replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012. But, questions remain about how much can be achieved and how any agreement would be implemented.
