Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Climate change
summit: Thousands join global protests
The weekend before
the climate summit at UN, there were demonstrations at over 2,000 locations in
the world calling for more decisive actions to deal with climate change. 125
chiefs of state and government are gathering at the conference trying to share
and work with the global problem.
As the UN Secretary
of General Ban Ki Moon said in the rally, there is no ‘Plan B’ for environment
because there is no ‘Planet B.’ However, climate talks have been ending up with
neighbor-claiming midnight-to-overnight concessions, at least so far. One of
the reasons is some big players have been playing climate poker games, holding
back their offers until everyone else shows their cards on the table.
When will the
world see a more productive conference and binding agreements to work with this
clear and present everybody’s issue?
Enjoy reading and
learning about what people in the world are expecting their leaders to do.
