Copenhagen and Climate Change

We know the world is warming, on average by 0.74ºC during the past century, with most of that since 1970.

The negotiating process on climate change revolves around the sessions of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP), which meets every year to review the implementation of the Convention. This year this process culminates in Copenhagen.

At Bali, Parties agreed to jointly step up international efforts to combat climate change and get to an agreed outcome in Copenhagen in 2009. Thus, an ambitious climate change deal will be clinched to follow on the first phase of the UN’s Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.

I urge you to visit greenidol.in and take action.

Almost 70,000 people have already written to the PM, but we desperately need to get to 1,00,000 and more. I am sure if each of us writes to 10 people we can get to 1,00,000 quickly. Tell your friends to take action - http://greenidol.in/climate/tell-your-friends/

I want my daughter to see a livable planet, greener and more environmentally safe.
