Next month's conference on climate change in Copenhagen must set a deadline for a legally binding document, Denmark's climate minister said Monday. AP/Nanet Poulsen 16/11/2009 14:05 Connie Hedegaard said it is very important to set the deadline "as soon as possible" in the text to be agreed upon in the Danish capital. She spoke at the start of a two-day closed meeting of climate negotiators from nearly 40 countries who are preparing for the Copenhagen UN climate conference, which starts on Dec. 7. The head of the UN climate change secretariat, Yvo de Boer, said participants at the Copenhagen meeting must come up with "a series of clear decisions" in order to have a treaty within six months after the conference ends. It will be designed to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.
