Just showing up is not enough

A statement by Friends of the Earth urging President Obama to move beyond attendance at the Copenhagen climate negotiations and commit the United States to mandatory greenhouse gas emission reductions and global leadership on climate justice.

• Friends of the Earth argues that the Obama administration is hindering international climate cooperation by encouraging other wealthy nations to adopt voluntary rather than mandatory commitments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which the organization claims threatens climate stability.
• The organization calls for President Obama to translate his rhetoric into concrete action and leadership during the United Nations climate negotiations in Copenhagen, noting that simply attending the event is insufficient.
