On becoming Greenpeace International executive director, prominent
human rights activist, Kumi Naidoo, has warned world leaders that there
can be no excuse for not attending the upcoming United Nations
Copenhagen Climate Summit and agreeing a fair, ambitious and binding
treaty to save the climate.
Naidoo argues that the Copenhagen Summit offers the single greatest
opportunity for leaders to come together and create a legally binding
agreement to avert climate chaos.
He also urged leaders to act to save the climate, adding that they
must avert the threat of mass migration, mass starvation and mass
extinction all of which will be inevitable if climate change goes
unchecked.
