Climate change - Tue Dec 02 2008
In a world long plagued by poverty, the climate crisis is now terrifyingly urgent. A new sign-on statement by civil society organizations understands that to meet these crises, the global community will have to rapidly mobilize at least on a scale comparable to recent responses to the global financial crisis. In the face of the economic meltdown, over four trillion US dollars were mobilized in a mere two months. To successfully face down the climate crisis, a similar level of ambition is needed.
