Gordon Brown to Attend Copenhagen Climate Talks

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is the first world leader to announce that he is to attend the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December and has urged others to follow.

Brown is to call for fellow world leaders to attend the meeting when meeting in New York and Pittsburgh to discuss climate change and global economy.

So far only Environment ministers are due to attend the Climate change conference, but growing pressure on governments to reach a deal has lead Brown to believe that wold leaders should be in attendance for the final set of negotiations.

The past few weeks have seen pessimism cast over the talks, claiming agreements will not be made, and not enough will be done. The conference is widely regarded as the most important meeting of climate change in history.

The UN is planning to shock world leaders at the up coming meeting in New York this week. They are stripping them of there usual entourages, and developed nations are paired up with poorer ones to chair discussion groups, in a hope to spur conversation and help them understand the threats parts of the world are already facing.

The UN is also hoping for help from Barack Obama, who is appearing in front of the UN for the first time, To help unite leaders to a joint purpose of preventing climate change.
