Premier Wen Jiabao will attend the conference
Only half of the 36,000 delegates from around the world attending the UN’s Copenhagen climate change conference were lucky enough to be seated Monday for the start of the long-awaited gathering aimed at finding a replacement for 1997’s Kyoto Protocol, such was the interest from nations to send delegations.
Reliable sources said a high-level team of between 70 and 100 people will accompany Premier Wen Jiabao to the conference, which a senior Chinese official described as the “start of a new round of climate negotiation”.
China has already sent around 50 negotiators and 30 advisors to the milestone meeting, which began on Monday in Copenhagen’s Bella Centre.
Climate Change Protest Ahead of Copenhagen
Tens of thousands of people marched in London dressed in blue and they circled the Houses of Parliament to try to bring issues to light that they feel need to be addressed at the Summit. They called for the UK Government to force the rich countries of the world to cut emissions by at least 40 percent by 2020 and to also provide $150 billion a year by 2020 to help the poor countries cope with climate change.
