UN Comments on Copenhagen Summit

The United Nations (UN) says the failure of the December 2009 summit in Copenhagen to agree on ambitious and immediate global action to combat climate change means that the task has become more, not less urgent.

UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) executive secretary, Yvo de Boer, points out that, "The window of opportunity to tackle the climate problem closes more rapidly the longer nations delay to act together."

"But Copenhagen has raised the challenge to the highest level of government policy, the level where it must ultimately be resolved" says De Boer.
