The UN conference on climate change takes place in Copenhagen from 7 to December 18, 2009.
A country of Latin America and the Caribbean will host the 2010 conference and South Africa proposed to organize the 2011.
Who can participate and how at COP15?
Basically, there are four forms of accreditation and participation in COP15.
- First, as a party, namely, as a Government representative. This group includes ministers, business, media and logistics staff elected by their governments as members of their delegations.
- Second, as a representative of the press, if you have a valid press card, you can get an accreditation for the COP15. Accreditation will allow access to most areas of the conference.
- Third, you can also get an accreditation as an NGO representative (and several other types of organizations).
- Finally, representatives of intergovernmental organizations, IGOs \u200b\u200b(such as WTO, IMF and World Bank) is credited as an independent group.
The Organization of the United Nations authorizes and accredits COP15 participants.
In December 2006, EU Member States published a distribution plan for 2008-2012, defining the implementation plans of the agreements. U.S., China and India did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol because they felt that their objectives were too restrictive. The international community is discussing measures to take effect when the Kyoto Protocol prescribes in 2012. COP13 meeting in Bali in December 2007 has set a goal agreed a common platform of United Nations.
The idea is to sign a new protocol Copenhagen (Denmark) in 2009 (the successor to the Kyoto Protocol). For the new international agreement has even more impact than the Kyoto Protocol on emissions of greenhouse gases, it is essential that the United States, China and India to ratify the agreement to succeed the Kyoto Protocol.
This may be the last chance to avert climate change that we finally escape from the hands.
