Convenor of UNFCCC COP-15 speaks out

Danish Prime Minister (PM), Mr. Anders Fogh Rasmussen said last month at the science Climate Change Congress:"The longer we wait, the worse it gets. At the UN climate conference in Bali in December 2007, a two-year roadmap was adopted. Copenhagen is the target. Some people and countries question whether it is realistic to agree to a global deal in nine months. I say, we must. Waiting a year or two will only make the decisions even tougher. I say, we stick with the roadmap, but we also have to realize that this will demand intense negotiations in 2009, and the very close involvement at the very highest level of government. "
