Apec leaders drop climate target


The world leaders still didn’t come to an agreement to reach a new climate change deal. After a two-day conference, there were still a few leaders who weren’t convinced about the new deal. This deal contained a target to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and a new strategy for growth after the world's worst economic crisis.


The target to lower the greenhouse gas isa very controversial issue in the world community, which could disrupt the negotiation process for a long time. That’s why some think it was unrealistic to expect a full, internationally legally-binding agreement .
They came to a joint declaration about certain things like rejecting all forms of protectionism and reaffirm our commitment to keep markets open and refrain from raising new barriers to investment or to trade in goods and services. They also agreed to keep stimulus spending in place until a recovery was seen.


I think it’s a good effort of all the world leaders to negociate about it, but first they need to study it further. They need to establish a good plan, that is realisable for everyone. This will take a lot of planning and efforts of everyone, but it’s necessary, because everybody need to stand behind the plan.

  1. I fully agree with Junot. First there has to be done a lot of research before they agree to do something to the environement. The research have to show that it is sure that the investments will be valuable. If they prove that they aren't valuable than we know already before that it wouldn't be smart to invest in it.
