STATEMENT OF OAS SECRETARY GENERAL ON THE RECENT SPECIAL UN SUMMIT ON CLIMATE CHANGE
October 1, 2009
“We at the OAS welcome the positive statements made by leaders of developed and developing countries at last week's Special UN Summit on Climate Change, particularly the commitments made by the leaders of the US and China to contribute towards meaningful outcomes at the upcoming 15th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark, in December 2009.
“We also noted President Obama's reference to the Energy and Climate Partnership for the Americas which the President proposed at the 5th Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago in April this year. The OAS stands ready to work with President Obama to bring this critical hemispheric vehicle to life. We believe the OAS can play a foundational role in this initiative, given our many decades of work in these areas and the existence of organs within the OAS system for dialogue at the highest political levels.
“The OAS remains hopeful that the Copenhagen Conference will be successful, but climate change is not awaiting the outcome of one meeting, it is an on-going phenomenon. The rate of global warming is such that even if the best deal is achieved in Denmark, the economies and societies of the most vulnerable countries will continue to be at risk for decades. This fact unleashes a moral obligation on the part of major industrialized countries, in particular to assist vulnerable countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change. We at the OAS see a critical role for ourselves in mobilizing and channeling support to vulnerable countries within the hemisphere".
