Honorable Louise OtisNATO and OECDEnvironmental Mediation In The Age Of Climate Crisis Summit Plenary Back to Plenary Lectures » | |
Abstract:Natural resources are being exploited three times as much as they were 50 years ago and 80% of the world's energy is still derived from fossil fuels. It has become inevitable that hundreds of millions of people will have to leave their homes in the coming decades because of the climate catastrophe The decade in which we find ourselves will be decisive. The time has come to rethink the way we negotiate in order to integrate efficiency and speed into the plurality of exchanges. Collaboration and cooperation will have to be stepped up to an extraordinary level of efficiency in order to create new pathways towards a global climate contract. The creation of an International Unit of environmental Mediation has become an imperative necessity. |
