In 2012, the Kyoto Protocol will expire. But fear not, for starting this December 7 until 18, the city of Copenhagen in Denmark will be hosting the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15). During this conference, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) hopes to find a way for countries to come together and work towards mitigating climate change.
With 15,000 participants from 192 countries expected, the conference is a major event and will hopefully be the grounds for major change in this world. Everyone knows that climate change is a huge problem and we cannot ignore the signs any longer. Representatives from many different sectors of society will be coming together to go over the problems, come up with solutions and mitigating measures, and hopefully reach an agreement that benefits all, especially Mother Earth.
Even all the way here in the Philippines, this conference and its outcome will affect the lives of future generations. So how can YOU do your part in all this? Go and Seal the Deal! Sign up at http://www.sealthedeal2009.org/ to be part of the UN Worldwide Campaign on Climate Change! You may also visit the Hopenhagen site here and sign the UN Climate Petition!
