We are facing one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. An awful lot hangs on Copenhagen and the ability of world leaders to agree to an ambitious global deal that meets the science of the climate challenge.
The UK Government is committed to pushing for that global deal. But Government cannot do it alone. Getting the deal agreed, and then its subsequent implementation will require the active participation of diverse groups.
Already many stakeholder groups are engaged in climate change and working alongside government to ensure a successful deal is made. We may not share backgrounds, or agree on every detail, but there is commonality in goal: all are seeking an ambitious, workable deal at Copenhagen.
