Climate Change Tops UN Agenda

However, an effort begins at the UN headquarters in New York today, that seeks to at least make world leaders aware of the role greenhouse gasses play in warming the earth and the necessity to address the probllem.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has convened a conference that will "seek to advance the global agenda on climate change." The heads of state and other top officials from more than 150 countries will gather to make an attempt at "securing apolitical commitment and building momentum for the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali, Dec. 3 to 14, where negotiations about a new international climate agreement should start," said a bulletin on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
web site at: http://unfccc.int.

"Bali must advance a negotiating agenda to combat climate change on all fronts, including adaptation, mitigation, clean technologies, deforestation and resource mobilization," Secretary Ban stated. "Bali must be the political response to the recent scientific reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. All countries must do what they can to reach agreement by 2009, and to have it in force by the expiry of the current Kyoto Protocol commitment period in 2012."

Ban has made addressing climate change a top UN priority. More than 70 heads of state are expected to attend the one-day event, the largest number of leaders ever to gather at a climate change conference. President Bush is scheduled to attend the dinner, following the meeting, but not the conference itself.
