The plight of the polar bear in the face of global warming has received much media attention, but at the COP15 UN climate summit in Copenhagen on Monday the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) released a report highlighting the top ten “Flagship” species likely to suffer most as a result of climate change. Topping the list are the clownfish, the emperor penguin, and the koala bear. Report co-author Wendy Foden describes the report “as a wake-up call to governments to make real commitments to cut CO2 emissions if we are to avoid a drastically changed natural world.”
As the summit entered its second and final week, many of the G77 developing nations temporarily walked out on the climate change conference in Copenhagen on Sunday, forcing leaders to suspend an entire round of talks. The boycott, which was led by China (now the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitter) and oil-rich countries of the Middle East and South America, stemmed from the poorer developing countries’ continued unwillingness to be subject to legally binding emissions targets, something that the U.S. and other developed countries support.
United States Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced Monday that the U.S. will contribute $85 million to a five-year $350 million effort with Australia, Britain, Italy, The Netherlands, and Sweden to help provide clean energy technology to developing countries.
Meanwhile, security has been ramped up as thousands more delegates and observers from around the world arrived in Copenhagen on Monday. Many were forced to wait up to six hours to for credentials to enter the conference center and still others were not granted admission at all. The United States has sent a record number of representatives to the talks this year, and President Obama is expected to arrive on Friday.
