Currently the COP 15 is meeting in Copenhagen to agree on a formula to replace the Kyoto Protocol. I sincerely wish that the leaders of the world set a greater GHG reduction target (along with CO2) compared with the KP. We also need a bigger financial commitment from the developed countries to help the least developed and developing countries to achieve this new target.
A major push should be to replant forest in Brazil, West Africa, especially the Sub-Saharan states, China (to hold the Gobi from expending). The developed countries should also invest in countries that keeps the percentage of their forest un-touch.
But the funny thing is, since early this year, countries around the world started seriously planning for this conference and having a public dialog about their national targets for the conference. But here in Malaysia there is not a lot of hype about the COP 15. We don't even know what the Government stands on the matter at all. What are the Government (along with our "excellent" Parliamentarians) doing about it?
