Accra, Dec. 20, GNA - President John Evans Atta Mills on Saturday returned home from Copenhagen, Denmark, where he attended the world summit on climate change.

He was accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni and some Ministers of State.

Alhaji Mumuni told newsmen on arrival at the airport that, in an address, President Mills told the summit that there was the need to act decisively to contain the ill effects of climate change. He said President Mills noted that although, developing countries contribute very little to climate change, they bore the brunt of climate change, adding that, unfortunately, these countries were least equipped to deal with the situation.

He said President Mills urged the developed countries to cut down on green house emissions and assist the less developed countries to deal with climate change.

At the airport to welcome the president were the Vice-president, Mr John Mahama, Ministers of State, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Major General Peter Blay and the Inspector General of Police, Mr Paul Quaye.
