Stockholm - Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt Thursday called on nations to "put national interests aside" in order to secure a global deal on climate change in Copenhagen in December. Reinfeldt was one of the keynote speakers at the European Development Days, a three-day event which groups government leaders, ministers, aid agencies and non-governmental organizations from over 120 countries. It was also open to the general public.
The Swedish premier, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, said a climate deal was necessary, noting that the most vulnerable would be hit by the effects of rising sea levels, drought and lower harvest yields.
