Location: London
Date: 2009-10-30
Young people from around the Commonwealth gathered in London to debate what the Commonwealth could do to combat climate change.
Speaking earlier in the summit, Commonwealth Deputy Secretary-General Ransford Smith, said: “long before it was fashionable, the Commonwealth entered the debate on climate change.”
Referring to concerns raised about rising sea levels by the then president of the Maldives, he recalled:
“An expert group was established [in 1987] and a flush of early political work by the Commonwealth helped to raise the international profile of climate change and sea-level rise concerns.”
How can the Commonwealth help tackle this issue today?
