Time for countries behind Copenhagen Accord to show they are serious
Sunday’s deadline for countries to lodge targets and details of emission reduction programs under the Copenhagen Accord, is the opportunity for nations that pushed the climate accord to show they are serious about it, WWF said yesterday.
Increasing greenhouse gas emissions could be disastrous for people and nature. The global community met in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009 but failed to agree on a new global climate deal aimed at protecting the future of our planet. WWF will continue to work tirelessly throughout 2010 to ensure we get the deal the planet needs.
We are working to cut global greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050, in order to prevent dangerous climate change resulting from an increase in average global temperatures above 2°C. We are also working on strategies to help people and nature adapt to inevitable climate change impacts.
