Ban Ki-moon: Climate change is now a priority
New York – Arabstoday

Ban Ki-moon: Climate change is now a priority New York – Arabstoday United Nations leader Ban Ki-moon announced on Tuesday he would press world leaders to agree on a binding deal against global warming by 2015. There has to be a "strong, complete and binding" accord , said Ban, who has stepped up warnings in recent months over the impact of accelerating temperature increases.
A UN conference in Doha last month extended the Kyoto Protocol, the only binding pact on curbing greenhouse gas emissions, until 2020. But the accord excludes major polluters such as China, India and the United States, which all refuse to ratify Kyoto.
Ban said mobilising action on climate change is now a "priority."
"Next year I intend to invite the leaders of the world, both individually and collectively, to mobilise the necessary political determination to adopt by 2015 a strong, complete and binding instrument on climate change," he said.
His comments came after US President Barack Obama vowed to make climate change a priority when he was sworn in for a second presidential term on Monday.
"We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations," Obama said.
Many scientists believe the Earth is set for warming that will be far above the two degrees Celsius target set by the United Nations when Kyoto was originally negotiated.
