“A United Nations conference on climate change in Copenhagen (Denmark) was called to put an end to two-year talks on a new global climate change agreement to enter into effect since 2013. However the delegates failed to come to a consensus and postponed the final decision till the next conference in 2010 in Mexico. After all, the conference resulted into a Copenhagen agreement, meant to keep rising of global temperatures under 2 percent,” Davletkeldiev said.
