From: Ban Ki-moon, Re: Climate change
The Secretary-General of the United Nations sounded a message for the candidates seeking to become America's next president:
The next U.S. president must show greater leadership than previous administrations in tackling climate change, the head of the United Nations said Sunday.
"All the countries in the international community are looking for more and greater leadership from the United States," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said after a celebration to mark the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
A start toward becoming this kind of leader is to ensure that next year's meeting in Copenhagen comes up with a climate change action plan that does not, like its predecessor in Kyoto, exclude the world's most powerful economy and (now second) largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
