Ever increasing human
activity is having a negative effect on our climate. The world
acknowledged this in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, when the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was opened
for signature.
In the Climate Change
Convention, the international community agreed to prevent the harmful
effects of climate change, such as those resulting in shifts of
agricultural zones, melting of polar ice caps and rising sea levels. In
1997, Governments took a further step and agreed on the Kyoto Protocol
that establishes targets for reduction of greenhouse gases emitted by
industrialised countries.
The Convention and its
Protocol gave the world hope and direction, but now it is time to decide
how to implement the goals agreed by Parties. This is the challenge facing
participants in The Hague at the 6th Conference of the Parties (COP 6).
It is time to "work
it out" for the sake of the credibility of the international
community and, more importantly, to protect our planet from developments
that could totally disrupt life on earth. In The Hague, the future of
future generations and that of all living creatures must be safeguarded.
