Africa, Climate Change, and the G 8 Summit

16 World Cities Leadership Climate Summit, 2005, Communiqué from large world cities.

COPENHAGEN Several thousand officials from 194 countries just gathered in Cancún, Mexico, for yet another global climate summit. Dissatisfied with the pace of climate diplomacy, many individuals are now wondering what they can do about climate change on their own.

Paris recently experienced humanity at its worst. The climate summit will be an opportunity to show it at its best.

AMSTERDAM During the COP15 climate summit in Copenhagen, world leaders have been negotiating the future of our planet. All the signs suggest that they are unlikely to sign a global climate treaty.

More recently, at the 2005 United Nations World Summit, world leaders had reiterated the importance of international efforts to combat climate change.

The twentieth summit meeting of the Presidents was to be devoted to the Central American region s vulnerability to natural disasters and climate change.

For the European Union, the leading authority in international climate policy, the outcome of the Copenhagen summit was particularly disappointing. After years of negotiation and numerous scientific assessment reports, delegations had the highest expectations for concluding a comprehensive climate treaty.

More and more industries appreciate this. At the Climate Summit that I convened last September at the UN in New York, financial institutions, commercial and national banks, insurance companies, and pension funds vowed to mobilize more than 200 billion by the end of this year for action to address climate change.

International business leaders at the World Economic Forum had identified climate change as one of the three most critical issues facing the world, and world leaders at the United Nations World Summit had placed climate change at the top of the political agenda, reconfirming their commitment to action under the Convention.
