Climate Change Summit Opens in Lima Peru

Climate Change Summit Lima, Peru

Delegates from 195 countries met in the Peruvian capital on Monday, on the start of a major UN climate conference.

The representatives have gathered for the twelve-day UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-20) conference to work towards drafting an agreement that is set to be signed next year in Paris. The agreement would go into effect in the year 2020.

Some of the members of Carbon Credit Network won a trip to Lima,Peru to be part of the delegates at this conference to fine tune the framework to reduce carbon emission.

The summit was boosted by the agreement between the world largest polluters US and China to reduce their carbon emissions and put a cap on them.

Here's hoping that more pledges and agreements can be made to help reduce the carbon emissions. Also  an increase in funding for research and  social enterprises like CCN to bring cleaner air and a better environment for us all.
