First Step for Global Commitment
Leaders to meet in summer for special climate change talks - Climate Change, Environment - The Independent.
Obama has reportedly sent out a call for another summit, not for the economy of the world, but the greening of it. According to the linked article in The Independent, a call has been made to the G20 for a summit to talk about the climate change issue. This is great news, though slightly bittersweet in my opinion. We can do such great things in the greening of our economy and global society, but the economic meltdown’s need for massive stimulus and short-term aid could overshadow the greater need for the long-term investments. Here’s to a successful G20 summit in London this week, a stable next few months (once the bottom of the economy is found of course), and a fruitful climate change summit this summer.
