Dr Saleemul Huq, director, International Centre for Climate Change and Development spoke to Saad Hammadi during his visit to Dhaka in November and explained how the Copenhagen conference on climate change will define the future of earth’s climate
The Kyoto Protocol set a timeline for every signatory nation to mitigate the emission of greenhouse gas by certain levels within 2012. What significance does the Copenhagen conference on climate change hold this year when most countries are yet to reach their targets?
Most of the countries are on track to meet their targets. Fifteen nations of the European Union took a target of reaching minus eight per cent of the 1990 level. We use the year 1990 as a baseline for the emissions.
