Durbanin ilmastokokous alkaa huomenna

Durbanissa alkaa huomenna YK:n ilmastokonferessi, jossa koetetaan jälleen saada aikaan kansainvälisiä sopimuksia, jotka pysäyttäisivät ilmastonmuutoksen. Ympäristöministeri Maite Nkoana-Mashabanen tiedotteessa kerrotaan näin, lyhennettynä:

The 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 7th Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties (CMP7) to the Kyoto Protocol begins in Durban.The Conference is at ministerial level, and we expect up to 20 000 participants at the conference and related events. This figure includes around 16 000 officials at ministerial, negotiator and officials level to take part in the conference, 1,500 members of media and 20,000 civil society representatives.

We have said repeatedly that the outcome in Durban should be balanced, fair and credible and that it should seek to preserve and strengthen the multilateral rules-based response to climate change. The approach to reach a balanced, fair and credible outcome in Durban must be informed by the principles that form the basis of UNFCCC climate change negotiations. These principles include multilateralism, environmental integrity, fairness (common but differentiated responsibility and respective capabilities, equity,) and honouring of all international commitments and undertakings made in the climate change process.

Indeed, we can and should live up to the COP17/CMP7 theme: WORKING TOGETHER, SAVING TOMORROW TODAY.
