Danish newspaper Politiken says Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen has set up a working group of world leaders to ensure that international negotiations are accelerated ahead of the Copenhagen U.N. climate conference in December.Politiken says the Copenhagen Commitment Circle will hold its first meeting next week, with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the heads of Australia and Mexico. The meetings will be held via video conference.
Saturday's report quotes the Danish premier as saying he hopes December's conference will have immediate results: "A politically binding agreement, that starts working at once _ that is, from Jan. 1, 2010."
The U.N. climate conference aims to replace the U.N.'s 1997 Kyoto Protocol on global carbon dioxide emissions.
