Series: Creation is God’s Mirror

The United Nations Climate Change Conference, that will take place next December in Copenhagen (Denmark), is the last call for a new global climate agreement – the Copenhagen Protocol – to succeed the Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2012. Preparatory meetings are being held. The last one took place in Poznan (Poland). There, the importance of the Adaptation Fund, needed to allow the poor countries of the world to deal with the effects of the greenhouse gas emissions, was underlined. Peru is a good case study.
