29 Nov - 6 Dec 2009

From 7 – 18 December 2009 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will meet in Copenhagen to negotiate and agree the framework for a new international climate change agreement. This will be a last opportunity to pave the way for updating and replacing the Kyoto Protocol before it expires in 2012. A quotation often used in articles about environmental issues:

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.”
