GLOBE Rome Legislators Forum Print

On 12-13 June 2009 the Italian Chamber of Deputies and the Italian Senate hosted the GLOBE International Legislators’ Forum in Rome. Senior delegations attended from the Parliaments of the G8, Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa. 

 

AWEPA Director of Research and Evaluation also participated and contributed to the discussion. The Forum convened just ahead of the Italian G8 Summit and the Major Economies Forum. These will be critical engagements by heads of government and must begin to put in place the framework for a deal to be reached in Copenhagen.

The Forum focused on the following issues:
  • Financing
  • Commitments
  • Deveoping ways of valuing natural capital
  • Developing policy responses to the inter-connected challenges to the environment
  • GLOBE AGM

Delegates negotiated the final consensus statement resulting from the Forum and formally presented it to the Italian G8 Presidency.
