The Organization of the United Nations has announced the current week "Global Climate Week". The campaign is called to promote achievement of a treaty on climate change during the UN conference scheduled for Dec 2009 in Copenhagen.

Over 120 countries are to take part in the activities on propagating environmental protection on Sep 21-25. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the nations' leaders to reach "fair, equal and efficient" agreement on climate change.

In Copenhagen the world leaders will focus on a new treaty which will replace the Kyoto Protocol of 1997.
