哥本哈根会议 2009年是一个“气候变化年”。12月7日至18日,世界各国领导人将齐聚丹麦首都哥本哈根,商讨《京都议定书》第一个承诺期(2008年～2012年)结束后,全球应对气候变化的道路何去何从,为后京都时代定下行动的基调。 考虑到协议的实施操作环节所耗费的时间,如果《哥本哈根议定书》不能在今年的缔约方会议上达成共识并获得通过,那么在2012年《京都议定书》第一承诺期到期之后,全球将没有一个共同文件来约束温室气体的排放。这将导致人类遏制全球变暖的行动遭到重大挫折,影响我们赖以生存的空气、水、土地以及食物。也因为这个原因,本次会议被广泛视为是人类遏制全球变暖行动最后的一次机会,它将决定人类和地球的未来。
