Abstract
With less than 11 weeks to the UNFCCC meeting in Copenhagen, the United Nations Climate Summit was held on 22 September 2009, in a bid to rally international support and action against climate change. As world leaders made their brief speeches at the United Nations, all eyes were on the biggest carbon emitters, China and the United States, on the concrete steps they would take in reducing global carbon emission levels.
