The meeting is introduced by Paolo Mantovan, journalist of the newspaper Il Trentino.
The main goal of last December's Summit in Copenhagen was to bring the major carbon dioxide producers on the planet to an agreement and launch a shared plan to reduce emissions. Beyond the declarations of good intentions, the final document seems disappointing. It is little more than a statement of intent: it aims to limit the global temperature increase to within two degrees Celsius, but no strict limits or binding measures are imposed on the economies of wealthy countries. This choice has further solidified the position of developing countries, which are determined to protect their economic growth. What can we expect from the next global climate summit?
