This year is a landmark one for climate change. In Copenhagen in December, the world will come together at the United Nations conference to agree a new international agreement to tackle climate change. The current international agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, will expire in 2012. Copenhagen, in effect, will create its successor.

The Road to Copenhagen is the UK Government’s case for an ambitious agreement at Copenhagen and focuses on urgent action to limit global temperature increases to no more than 2 degrees Celsius, beyond which the risks of dangerous climate change become much greater.

www.actoncopenhagen.gov.uk is the official UK government website that presents the authoritative HMG position on climate change negotiations in Copenhagen 2009.

It is just six months until Copenhagen, and it is essential that there is widespread awareness among of what is at stake at the Copenhagen talks, and of the vital importance of reaching a global deal.
