Hopefully, Chris Huhne will bring some 'energy' to the summit
As Superbadger has been blogging about for the past week, we’re all hoping for lots of progress here in Cancun at the COP16 climate summit– especially in the crucial area of climate finance to help developing countries adapt to climate change and develop sustainably. This is a hot topic during these next few weeks.
There’s a real danger following the disappointing climate talks in Copenhagen last year that this year’s talks will get stuck, locked or fail. To prevent this, all countries must go to the talks with a ‘can do’ attitude and that includes the UK.
Chris Huhne the UK Climate Secretary will soon be travelling to Cancun to lead the UK delegation. So we thought we might help him out with a check list for his suitcase:
Must remember to bring:
- Ambition
- Positivity
- Decisiveness
- Political will
- Innovative ideas
- Toothbrush
- Umbrella AND sun tan lotion
Rich nations must take action first because they’re most responsible. So Huhne must take a lead to ensure a new fund is created to help poor countries deal with climate change, and make progress on agreeing new sources for climate finance to fill the fund.
Please badger the Climate Secretary Chris Huhne to push for climate finance progress from rich nations in Cancun!
