Copenhagen Climate Change Summit 2009 - An overview

PodUniversal Edition 95
The recent Copenhagen Summit (held in Dec 2009) has thrown many issues open for public debate and compliance.  'Global warming' has become a big challenge before the mankind.  The emission of carbon by almost all the countries is posing the greatest risk to our future generation, for safe living. 

In our anxiety to compete with each other and make more and more money, we are doing great injustice to our future generation.  Fortunately, the world has come to realise the urgent need to address this challenge.

In the recent Copenhagen Summit, more than 190 countries participated and out of which more than 110 Heads of States/Governments participated.

This Summit suddenly brought this Global warming issue to the forefront.  Many people are not aware of the seriousness of this issue.

Dr Arul Aram, Asst. Professor of Media Science Department of Anna University, Chennai has also participated in the Summit as part of the Indian delegation.  This is the only University in the world to introduce 'climate change' as a subject of study in their Media Science Department.

On behalf of PodUniversal, I interviewed him on phone to understand the seriousness of this issue, the remedial measures to be taken, role of universities and schools in creating the awarenss, etc.
