Demanding Justice and Action. A must-see video from Copenhagen
This must be probably the most honest speech I have heard all these days in Copenhagen and it comes from the Canadian youth delegate, Taryn McKenzie-Mohr. She makes an emotional plea to Canada’s lead negotiator, Michael Martin, to change Canada’s obstructive role at the global climate negotiation.

“A deal there (Copenhagen) would save the planet at a price we can easily afford — and it would actually help us in our current economic predicament.
“The truth, however, is that cutting greenhouse gas emissions is affordable as well as essential. Serious studies say that we can achieve sharp reductions in emissions with only a small impact on the economy’s growth. And the depressed economy is no reason to wait — on the contrary, an agreement in Copenhagen would probably help the economy recover.”

Copenhagen Climate Conference: The Key EU Objectives
EU’s aim is these negotiations in Copenhagen to result in a comprehensive, ambitious, fair, science-based and legally binding global treaty that will ensure that global warming is kept below 2°C above the pre-industrial temperature. But given the slow progress made in the negotiations to date, and a lack of consensus about the shape of the eventual agreement, it is now unlikely that the treaty can be finalised at the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen on 7-18 December as originally planned. The EU’s goal is therefore to make as much progress as possible in Copenhagen towards a full treaty and to reach an ambitious and comprehensive political agreement covering all its key elements.

“It will become increasingly difficult to preserve security and stability if we fail to deliver a robust climate protection system.”
The Military Advisory Council believes that failure to recognise the conflict and instability implications of climate change and to invest in a range of preventative and adaptive actions will cause human suffering and destabilise nations. Therefore, the statement says, “climate change creates a common security problem that requires global and comprehensive co-operation.” Military community should contribute to this global process of constructing policy responses to climate change.
