COP-12 Nairobi, November 2006

Time is of the essence. The scientists who first brought the issue of climate change to our attention are beginning to show signs of panic. This issue is running away from us, and as you have seen in this workshop, we simply have no time left to dither and delay. The impacts of climate change will get much worse unless urgent action is taken, and taken quickly. For many regions, the scale of unavoidable changes in the next few decades will likely exceed the limits of adaptation possibilities. If we do not act now, what is unavoidable will likely become catastrophic.

As we enter the final hours of negotiations here in Nairobi, the Climate Action Network calls for bold leadership in keeping with the scale and urgency of the challenge before us. Climate change is the greatest threat to human security we have ever faced. But we negotiate here and act at home as if we are committed to climate change, rather than to avoiding it. The recent release of the Stern Report on the Economics of climate change is the latest call to action.
