As the climate conference opened today in Copenhagen, an editorial regarding the urgency to face the world’s climate change issues was printed in 56 newspapers in 45 countries (and written in 20 languages). This message, intended to reach politicians and negotiators at the conference, highlights that people from around the world are focused on this critical moment in history and that significant action is required. We must put aside our differences and view this problem through the same lens.
"We call on the representatives of the 192 countries gathered in Copenhagen not to hesitate, not to fall into dispute, not to blame each other but to seize opportunity from the greatest modern failure of politics. This should not be a fight between the rich world and the poor world, or between east and west. Climate change affects everyone, and must be solved by everyone."
I applaud the efforts of these newspapers to give a voice for what has provided us with everything we know: our planet.
