Finland pledges to do all it can to push for a political agreement at the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Conference, according to a statement issued by Finnish government on Friday.

As one of the greatest challenges the world faces nowadays, the impacts of climate change have been seen around the globe and believed to worsen, said Finnish government in the statement. If the world does not take coordinated actions to tackle it at once, the global ecological system could thus be ruined and the food supplies as well as sustainable development will be under threat.

According to the statement, although it is not expected that the Copenhagen Conference will be able to reach a legally binding treaty, expectations are high for political agreement. Finland will thus do all it can to promote consensus on a political treaty, which is in the interest of all sides.

Finland's President Tarja Halonen and Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen will attend the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December, leading a delegation with nearly 70 members.
