Environment ministers and officials from around the world head to Copenhagen for the United Nations Climate Change Summit.

Sky News’ Holly Williams will be there providing extensive coverage as representatives from 192 countries look to agree a new climate treaty in a bid to encourage the world’s leading industrialised nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Throughout the conference, Sky News Correspondents around the world will also report on how climate change could affect some of the planet’s poorest communities. Sky News’ Africa Correspondent Emma Hurd will undertake an Antarctic Expedition with a team monitoring the continuing melting of the polar ice cap and its potentially devastating effect on global water levels, habitats and wildlife. RTS Television Journalist of the Year Alex Crawford, meanwhile, will be in Nepal to report on the fastest retreating glacier in the Himalayas.

On the 10, 11 and 12 December, Sky News presents Turning Up The Heat, which will see Anna Botting anchoring from Mumbai, a city whose emissions are set to increase as its population continues to rise, and Andrew Wilson reporting from Brazil; a key player in the block of developing countries involved in climate change negotiations. Every minute, an area larger than three football pitches is lost in the Amazon forest. With 20 per cent of the world's carbon emissions created by deforestation, world leaders are trying to find a way of making the forests worth more alive than dead. Andrew will be in the western-Brazilian state of Acre, the home of Sky’s Rainforest Rescue project which aims to tackle deforestation.
