copenhagen in december

The world governments are taking global warming seriously. Members of the Major Economic Forum are considering halving their carbon emissions by the year 2050. Considerations of developing nations such as China are being considered. This level of cooperation is unprecedented on this issue. There are many issues to tackle in our environment but global warming has to be on the top of the list.

The UN will sponsor the Climate Conference  in Copenhagen in December. The goal of that conference will be to secure an international pact on global warming. The issues addressed by the members of the MEF go along way to lay the ground work for an agreement. It is important that developing nations such as China are finding common ground with nations like the U.S. The biggest challenge will be to bridge the gap that emerging economies face because they are heavily dependent on fossil fuels as they becoming viable players in the world economy. They are faced with the challenge of taking there societies from a state of poverty to viable economies and keep global warming on their radar screen. Only international cooperation can achieve a solution. More advanced economies are going to asked to take on the major commitments of CO2 reduction early on allowing the developing economies more time to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels.
