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.
