The G8 Summit is coming up in Germany on June 6th to 8th. That has direct relevance to the ideas of 21st Century Network because that summit will be discussing climate change and all the signs are that president Bush will oppose measure to halt CO2 emissions that is wanted by many others and required to slow down global warming. President Bush's links to the oil industry and the fundamental Christian right in the US is a major problem for humanists who want human and planetary values placed ahead of dogma and commercial interest.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has urged the G8 summit of the world's top industrialised nations to take measures to combat climate change, warning that inaction would be costly. In a statement before the G8 summit in June at Heiligendamm in Germany, Ban said the eight participating nations should "devise and implement a long-term global framework to tackle climate change that addresses the needs of all countries".
There will be major demonstrations at that Summit and information can be found here ?
