Hi Palash,It's time for a new Kyoto Protocol to address the growing concerns of global climate change.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meets again in early June to work toward a framework for December's critical Copenhagen Climate Conference. With the rising threat of global warming, it's critical that the new treaty includes strong caps on carbon emissions.
But to make it a global solution, we need to ensure the agreement also includes funding to help developing countries adapt to climate change. We must include the world's poor, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, because the consequences of global warming will disproportionately hit Africa's poor -- even though the crisis is clearly not of their making.
Rich countries have an obligation to immediately curb greenhouse gas emissions and help Africa avoid the worst effects of climate change. Yvo de Boer, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, is chairing the next round of negotiations in June.
Thank you,
LiAnna
