Gordon Brown Urges World Leaders to Get Real about Copenhagen and Prepare to Join Him There. Commentary by Gordon Brown, Newsweek, September 21, 2009. "In just 11 weeks, the world will convene in Copenhagen, under the auspices of the United Nations, to forge a new international agreement on climate change. It is a historic moment: the ultimate test of global cooperation. Yet the negotiations are proceeding so slowly that a deal is in grave danger... A strong deal that establishes legally binding commitments to reduce emissions will provide the confidence and certainty needed to underpin low-carbon investment. The U.N. talks are therefore not only about safeguarding the environment but also about stimulating economic demand and investment... If it is necessary to clinch the deal, I will personally go to Copenhagen to achieve it -- and will be urging my fellow leaders to do so too."
