Reports from the first days of the UNFCCC Climate Change Conference, COP15, Copenhagen, 7-18 December 2009. The European Union withdrew an offer to increase its greenhouse gas emissions reduction target on the 7 December 2009 because it said similar offers made by many nations in the previous month were inadequate to prevent significant climate change. The tough stance is intended to spur other governments into increasing their proposed cuts at the United Nations’ Copenhagen climate change conference, which opened on the 7 December 2009. Observers said it was a strong indicator of just how tough the negotiations would be over the following fortnight. |
