On December 7, 2009, 192 countries will come together in Copenhagen, one of the most eco cities in the world, to determine the future of our planet. Join Green Scout Report and let’s turn Copenhagen into Hopenhagen. Let’s tell the U.N. what gives us hope at COP15 The United Nations Climate Change Conference.
The delegates attending the conference are representatives of national governments. But more than 10,000 people including industry groups and nongovernmental organizations, will also be attending COP15. And that’s just the people inside the conference. Thousands more will be making their voices heard outside the conference walls.
In 2012, the Kyoto Protocol to prevent climate change runs out. COP15 is the final chance for the world’s leaders to meet before the climate agreement needs to be renewed. What’s more, the protocol needs far more than a refresh. Since the conference in Kyoto, global carbon dioxide emissions have increased to a record 31.5 billion metric tons. That’s 40% above levels in 1990, the basis year for the treaty.
To be held in Copenhagen, Denmark – one of the greenest cities in the world – this conference is thought to be the last major chance the world has to decide on a concrete and effective plan for reducing carbon emissions. It’s also an amazing opportunity for humanity and the planet.
Hopenhagen is a movement, a moment and a chance at a new beginning. The hope that in Copenhagen this December – during the United Nations Climate Change Conference – we can build a better future for our planet and a more sustainable way of life. It is the hope that we can create a global community that will lead our leaders into making the right decisions. The promise that by solving our environmental crisis, we can solve our economic crisis at the same time.
Hopenhagen is change – and that change will be powered by all of us.
