As the international community meets this week in Nairobi, Kenya to formulate international climate policy, you can depend upon the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) to support the Kyoto process as an established mechanism to reduce emissions that can be tightened and expanded, rather than restarting international negotiations from scratch. Clearly India and China must enter the emissions caps, though just as clearly they and other developing countries should be allowed to emit more per capita then rich countries. Climate change will be averted or minimized only by dramatic emissions reductions, rapid embrace of renewable energy, an end to ancient forest deforestation and diminishment, and an embrace of energy conservation and efficiency. As individuals we must do what we can to achieve these goals, while leading our leaders to establish societal constraints that make living green more easy. Meanwhile, lets hope for enlightened global governance from Nairobi. International action, with agreed upon limits for ghg emissions, are essential for success. Right now, a lot is riding on the efforts of the developed countries that are participating in Kyoto to show they can successful in meeting their targets.

In the United States we must take advantage of the new political landscape to put comprehensive and ambitious federal climate change legislation on the national agenda.
