Big countries are committed to preventing the earth from warming up
The largest group of developing and developing countries in the world participated in the summit in Italy, yesterday, agreed to take all measures to raise the global temperature by not more than 2 degrees Celsius compared to the average of the year. 1900.
This is the temperature that if surpassed, the global climate will become unstable according to UN studies. The statement was made in the Major Economic Forum in the Italian city of L'Aquila. The forum includes countries in the G8, the G5 emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa) plus Australia, South Korea and Indonesia. These economies account for about 80% of the world's total carbon emissions.
The conference's statement emphasized: " We recognize the scientific view that the global average temperature must not exceed 2 degrees Celsius above the temperature level before the industrial revolution of 1900. From now until December. , countries will cooperate to work towards a common goal to significantly reduce emissions before 2050 ".
The United Nations will preside over the negotiations between countries in the Danish capital Copenhagen in December this year in order to sign a global agreement to combat climate change. This deal will replace the upcoming Kyoto Protocol.

US President Barack Obama said countries have "made great strides" in their efforts to cope with climate change. He also acknowledged that the United States, one of the most emitting countries on the planet, has not fulfilled its responsibilities for decades. But the White House boss insisted that the period was over.
However, the eight most industrialized countries in the world failed to persuade major developing countries to cut carbon emissions by 50% between now and 2050. On July 8, G8 member states have agreed to work together to cut 80% of carbon emissions over the same period.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that the measures taken by G8 were not drastic enough. He also called on the bloc to set goals for 2020. Meanwhile, the G8 summit and other major economies took place in Italy's city of L'Aquila from July 8 and lasted for 3 day.
