Monday, October 12th, 2009The challenge & the opportunity
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009(From WWF International):
The global community will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009 to agree on a new global climate deal aimed at protecting the future of our planet.
The year 2009 will be remembered as…
…the year of the financial crisis, right?
Wrong.
We hope.
2009 needs to be remembered as the year the world found an answer to climate change.
The year it found the political will to meet the challenge and found hope and opportunity in doing so.
For out of crisis comes opportunity.
And out of the twin perils of financial and climatic crises comes the opportunity to bring the global economy back in line with global ecology.
To put the future development of the world economy – for ALL its citizens – on a sustainable foundation.
THAT is the challenge and the opportunity of 2009.
And in Copenhagen, in early December, 2009, is where we will see if that OPPORTUNITY IS TAKEN.
