Is Copenhagen Enough? |
|
|
• Friday, 18 December 2009
That's probably on the minds of many of us. Can this massive summit where some 15,000 political leaders, industrial players, environmentalists and activists gather help change the current global environmental crises? Read more about COP15 here .
Billions have been pledged to help make the world a better place, while
the big carbon emitters are still wishy washy about their carbon
cut-backs, and then there's the group of third world countries and
developing countries like Malaysia that are sitting on the fence in
terms of their commitments.
As the environment suffers further deterioration, and poverty is still
a major issue in many countries, EcoKnights can't help but wonder if
Copenhagen can do anything fast to help alleviate these global issues.
Are we going to wait and rely on the Copenhagen outcomes to start
saving the planet? What are some of the political turmoil faced by some
of the world's biggest carbon emitters like the US and China?
Read on more about the thoughts, ideas and posts of people from all walks of life here.
