Hong Kong Civil Society Delegation to Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change Position Paper

Extract:
1. The civil society organizations in Hong Kong would like to present our stance on local climate strategies in the context of international climate negotiations at United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark from 7 to 18 December 2009.

2. The summit has to map out a holistic strategy that could effectively mobilize all members of international community to combat climate change in the long term. We do not have the luxury of time to conclude a global climate agreement without the endorsement and participation of every single country and region. All global citizens should push aside individual interests and collaborate for the well-being and long-term benefits of mankind.

3. Hong Kong is a very wealthy and prosperous city with GDP per capita ranked 7th in the world in 2008.1 In light of our relative affluence, it would be our privilege to perform a greater role in reversing global warming.
