From Bangkok to Copenhagen

Friends of the Earth criticizes the United States for obstructing international climate negotiations in Bangkok by suggesting that pollution reduction targets be made voluntary and the Kyoto Protocol be dismantled. The statement argues that wealthy countries, as the largest historical polluters, must lead emission reductions and support developing nations to prevent catastrophic climate destabilization.

• The United States is obstructing international climate negotiations in Bangkok by proposing the dismantling of the Kyoto Protocol and the implementation of voluntary pollution reduction targets.
• Wealthy nations, identified as the largest historical polluters, have a responsibility to lead emission reductions and provide support to developing nations for a sustainable future.
• Failure to reach a global agreement on the climate crisis may lead to climate destabilization resulting in catastrophic droughts, famines, disease, storms, and rising oceans.
