The Bike Rally, spearheaded by Greenpeace and OxFam, will ask the US and European Union to act to halt gloal warming and climate change.

“The world’s leaders meet at the end of 2009 in Copenhagen to determine the fate of the climate. They could set us on the path to a deep emissions cuts or they could lock the planet into catastrophic, irreversible climate change. “
The success of the Copenhagen Summit will be measured by the following demands being met:

* Developed countries, as a group, must reduce emissions by at least 40% by 2020 (from 1990 levels)
* Invest $140billion a year for developing countries to adapt to climate change, switch to renewable energy and stop deforestation
* Deforestation must end by 2015
