Clinton Global Initiative: Climate Change and the Effects on National Security
Submitted by cagrunden on September 15, 2005 - 6:19pm.
As many of you know, General Clark is participating in the Clinton Global Initiative conference in New York this week. Topics include: "The Escape from Poverty", "Religion, Conflict, and Reconciliation", "Climate Change: Business Challenge and Opportunity", and "Governance, Enterprise, and Investment". General Clark will be focusing on climate change as a national security issue. Here are the details:
Session 2 : Promoting Prosperity with Climate Change Policy, Friday 9/16, 2:00 - 5:10 PM.
Introduction and Welcome from Moderator His Excellency José Maria Figueres, Former President of Costa Rica
Speakers' line up (in alphabetical order)
* The Honorable Anne Baker, Deputy Secretary, California Environmental Protection Agency
* The Right Honorable Margaret Beckett MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, United Kingdom
* General Wesley Clark, USA, (Ret.), Vice Chairman, James Lee Witt and Associates LLC
* The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton, U.S. Senator, New York
* His Excellency Dr. Leonel Fernandez, President of the Dominican Republic
* The Honorable Yoriko Kawaguchi, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister of Japan for Foreign Affairs
"Promoting Prosperity with Climate Change Policy", will explore climate change policies around the world. These policies are evolving rapidly, with the launch of the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme earlier this year and strong Japanese measures to promote energy efficiency. In addition, many policies designed with multiple goals—such as Chinese automotive fuel efficiency standards and the Brazilian ethanol program—are paying dividends in addressing climate change. In the United States, the Senate recently passed a resolution calling for "mandatory, market-based measures" to bring heattrapping gases under control, while governors from both political parties, including Republican governors of the two largest states, are taking strong steps to address this problem. More than 160 U.S. cities have declared their intention to meet the Kyoto targets.
CSPAN will be airing the session next week. We'll update you when we find out more.
Finally, a reminder that General Clark will be appearing on At Large w/ Geraldo Rivera on Fox News at 10pm ET on Saturday.
