Ban Ki Moon has again invited world leaders for the UN climate summit in New York to discuss the state of our global environment and climate change and make a binding agreement to reduce emissions and significantly strengthen sustainable political will for a meaningful legal agreement. How successful this year's climate summit depends on sincerity and the willingness to put concrete words into concrete actions and not just the usual wining and dining UN Climate Summits and conferences.The US government has already provided a working plan of action to reduce carbon pollution. China has agreed to impose carbon target by 2016. These are interesting developments from the biggest polluters in the world, but the world waits to see more action than words.
Interestingly, two days to the UN Climate Summit, the biggest march in history will take place in New York where more than 800 groups including green advocates, students, small and big environmental organizations and minority groups from across the world converge to challenge world leaders to make legal commitments.
After the week of September 21, we shall see how reversible, with global efforts, this biggest ongoing reaction can be. The victims of climate change have no borders!
