Disappointing outcome of Copenhagen climate summit
Posted on 23/12/2009
Hivos believes that world leaders should be ashamed about the outcome of the climate negotiations in Copenhagen. After years of preparation, weeks of meeting and a summit attended by all world leaders, the UN members have still not signed a treaty on tackling climate change. The only decision taken by the UN countries is to recognise the so-called Copenhagen Accord. This identifies and recognises the need to combat climate change, but does not draw the necessary conclusions or impose binding commitments. At the very last minute even the agreement that a binding treaty should be in place at next year’s summit in Mexico had disappeared.
