Open letter to the Danish Presidency as host of the UN Climate Change
Conference in Copenhagen, December 2009
We, the undersigned civil society groups, express our concern over
the actions of the Danish government in its role as President of the
UNFCCC Conference of Parties.
The historic Copenhagen Climate Conference has yet to begin and a
lengthening list of concerns is being raised by governments and by
members of civil society:
• We criticize the undemocratic practices adopted by the Danish
Prime Minister of convening small and exclusive groups of countries
before the Copenhagen meeting, excluding the vast majority of
countries whose futures are at stake in the negotiations.
• We criticize the Danish Prime Minister’s decision to produce
draft “Copenhagen Accords” before the meeting has even started. These
have been circulated to a select few governments, excluding others.
They have been produced in spite of on-going negotiations under the
UNFCCC and prejudge the outcome of good-faith negotiations among all
Parties.
• We further criticize the texts on the basis that they
systematically ignore the demands of developing countries and
overwhelmingly reflect the position of Denmark and other developed
countries on key issues. They seek to shift the burden of addressing
climate change from those who caused it to those who suffer its worst
effects.
• We criticize the Danish Prime Minister’s consistent disregard
for the concerns of developing countries by downgrading expectations
for Copenhagen to a “political agreement” and by falsely stating that
the Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012.
These actions are inconsistent with the duty of the Danish Government
in its neutral role as President of the Conference of Parties. They
are an attack on the democratic processes of UN negotiations. And
they are an affront to the interest of small and poor countries in
the negotiations.
Further actions of this kind threaten the trust that is the very
foundation of a fair and effective deal in Copenhagen. They undermine
the capacity of the Danish Government to play a constructive role in
the negotiations. Left unchecked, they threaten a Copenhagen collapse.
Copenhagen must mark an historic turning point. Parties have placed
their trust in Denmark’s good reputation as a fair and impartial
player. We therefore call for:
• The COP President to serve in an even-handed and unbiased manner;
• A fair, open and transparent process; and
• The full participation of all countries in an inclusive manner.
The imperative in Copenhagen is not to seal a deal at any costs – but
to provide the opportunity for the nations of the world to work
together to secure one that is fair and effective.
We call on Denmark to support such a process. The world is watching.
