Merkel: Decisive Action on Climate Change Needed
Without decisive action on climate change, the entire world will experience reduced prosperity, so the fight against climate change is also an economic investment in the future, Chancellor Angela Merkel told a group of legislators from the G8 and key emerging economies meeting in Washington on February 14.
Merkel delivered the keynote address, via video, at the opening of the Legislators Forum on Climate Change and Energy Security, held on Capitol Hill February 14 and 15. It is the second such forum held in the framework of the G8 + 5 Climate Change Dialogue. The legislators, including Democratic and Republican members of Congress, are being joined by some of the world’s key business leaders, international development institutions, as well as global civil society organizations.
