Copenhagen Summit
Heads of administration from more than 70 countries, together with all the key stakeholders, have now signalled that they'll make the Copenhagen conference the foremost “Real Summit” on global warming where countries are projected to make promises, commitments and good signs to action. This is an incredibly optimistic measure as facing this challenge will need the focus of the major decision-makers in each nation, and their continued support for more than 40 years.
The hope is that there will be a 6-8 page political accord which outlines the wide contours of the international concord, and then a series of “Annexes” to the political accord which state more details. The mixture of these two sets of documents is then expected to be incorporated next year into a legal agreement which can be ratified by countries in the following years. They have to deal with the following issues.
a. The anticipation is that all developed nations will ensure further emission reductions and then next year these commitments will be translated into officially obligatory commitments.
b. Developing countries will go for emission reductions, actions/commitments (called “Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Commitments”) - All key developing countries are projected to outline the kinds of emission reduction actions that they'll commit themselves to.
More optimistically, if the nations are able to leave behind their differences, disparities and see the greater good (our prospect), they'll come across a way to concur to set the world on a corridor that is much nearer to solving global warming. They'll sketch a fresh set of measures to deal with global warming and an obvious conduit to making them rigid and profound subsequently.
As a whole, we the inhabitants of the world want the Summit to be able to meet up its expectations by taking adequate measures and timely executions of them in order to implement the dream of the people who want to provide a green platform for the next generation.
