World Leaders Hold Climate Summit at United Nations
---------------------------------------------------



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."
