Why did the Copenhagen conference happen?

The Copenhagen Conference, officially known as COP15, took place in December 2009 to address global climate change and to negotiate a new international agreement to succeed the Kyoto Protocol. The conference aimed to bring together world leaders, negotiators, and stakeholders to establish binding commitments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to secure financial support for developing countries in their efforts to combat climate change. Despite high expectations, the conference faced challenges, leading to a non-binding agreement known as the Copenhagen Accord. The conference highlighted the complexities of global cooperation in addressing climate change.
