UN official wants region’s full participation at summit
UNITED NATIONS – Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Alicia Bárcena, is urging Western Hemispheric countries to ensure their full participation at next month’s climate change summit in Denmark.
“We know that a rise in temperature of over two centigrade can alter the natural balance and human life. That is why it is urgent to take action now,” she said at the launch of an economic study on Climate Change in Chile.
World leaders will gather in Copenhagen for the Fifteenth Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 15), hoping to reach a global agreement on reducing emissions to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
