Climate change is and will continue to be one of the central issues in the world´s agenda. The 15th Conference of Parties (COP 15) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Copenhagen in December 2009 has reiterated how much still needs to be done in order to tackle the various challenges climate change -and its various ramifications- pose to mankind.
Across the Commonwealth, the latest meeting of the Commonwealth Heads of State (CHOGM 2009) in Trinidad and the commitment expressed in the “Port of Spain Climate Change Consensus” to help Commonwealth States to face the challenges of climate change are some of the concrete signs that climate issues are taken very seriously by Commonwealth countries, which now actively search for ways to cope with the various challenges it poses.
