Copenhagen 2009: Who's Who
The Conference has been mainly organized and hosted by the Danish Government, through the following ministeries: Ministry of Climate and Energy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister's Office. Originally the conference was initiated by the former Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, leader of the liberal party "Vestre", and the centre-right collation "Det Konservative Folkeparti".The conference hosting was continuing by the current Prime Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, (also from Vestre, after Fogh Rasmussen resignation's in April 2009),through his minister of Climate and Energy, Connie Hedegaard.
It was the decision of the Danish Government that the Conference organization itself-not only the subject- should be focused on climate itself and how to reduce the GHG emissions. As a result of that, the Conference will be the first global Climate event to be powered by eco-friendly electricity, as organizers are working on the construction of a windmill near the Bella Centre.
It is expected that the event will gather delegates from over 170 countries, and a total number of 8,0000 people, as a government representatives, NGOs, journalists and activists.
