Obama To Attend Copenhagen Climate SummitNovember 25, 2009
President Obama will attend the climate change summit in Copenhagen next month and will commit the United States to reducing its production of greenhouse gases, the White House said Wednesday.
Obama will speak at the Copenhagen conference on Dec. 9, one day before claiming his Nobel Peace Prize in nearby Oslo.
In a statement, the White House called Obama's decision "a sign of his continuing commitment and leadership to find a global solution to the global threat of climate change, and to lay the foundation for a new, sustainable and prosperous clean energy future."
His attendance is designed to give positive momentum to international climate talks. Leaders are hoping to arrive at a tentative agreement in Copenhagen on limiting greenhouse gases that could serve as a steppingstone to a legally binding treaty in the future.
