The Copenhagen Accord [1]

Climate change has received unprecedented attention of the world leaders and media as well as activists, industrialists and ordinary citizens. The scientific community and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in particular have been pleading for action to halt global warming and the resulting climate change. The Copenhagen Climate Convention is a great success to the extent it brought a global environmental issue to the centrestage as evidenced by the assembly of the largest number of heads of state and governments, nearly 130 of them and government delegations from 191 countries, and over 40,000 delegates (scientists, activists, industrialists, etc.) registering for the convention.
