World leaders are meeting at the United Nations today for a one-day summit to pursue a new agreement to fight global warming. The talks come less than three months before the major climate summit in Copenhagen.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “The aim of tomorrow’s summit meeting is for leaders to mobilize political momentum that can accelerate pace of negotiations and help strengthen the ambition what is on offer. A climate agreement will not just safeguard the environment, it can help to fundamentally shift our world toward a greener economy.”
