This event has ended.
<p>The Copenhagen climate conference ended on 19 December by taking note of the 'Copenhagen Accord', which was supported by a large majority of Parties, including the European Union, but opposed by a small number. The conference also mandated the two ad hoc working groups on long-term cooperative action under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and on further commitments for developed countries under the Kyoto Protocol to complete their work at the next annual climate conference, to be held in Mexico City in November 2010.</p>
