World leaders are addressing the UN climate conference in Copenhagen as it approaches its conclusion. The Danish organizers are trying to lower expectations of a full agreement, but some leaders remain positive. French President Nicolas Sarkozy stated that people want to maintain the Kyoto protocol, so let's do so. Let's come to a consensus on a political framework. We must act quickly as time is running out. A failure in Copenhagen would have dire consequences for all of us. We need to accelerate our efforts in this conference to avoid a catastrophe. We have less than 24 hours left. If we continue in this manner, it will result in failure. Our purpose here is not to hold a conference on global warming, but to make important decisions. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown emphasizes that during the few days in Copenhagen, our actions will have long-lasting consequences, and we must not let narrow self-interest hinder efforts to ensure human survival. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expresses concern about the lack of transparency from China, the second biggest emitter, stating that it is difficult to imagine progress without it. We need to be open and transparent in the forum we choose, and if there is no commitment to transparency, it is a dealbreaker for us. Israeli President Shimon Peres urges neighboring countries, even those without diplomatic relations, to work together to save the region. Political differences should not prevent environmental cooperation, as carbon molecules do not have passports. Rivers do not need visas but carry pollution. People of different religions hope for the Jordan River to remain fresh and pure. I am following the Bible's call for Adam to care for the Garden of Eden. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has strong opinions on environmental destruction and solutions to control it. I hope that those who have contributed the most to environmental destruction will agree to international commitments and help us establish a fair framework by reducing that destruction and supporting programs to mitigate its consequences. All nations should have access to new technologies to diversify their energy sources and utilize clean and renewable energies like wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, and nuclear power. Chinese Climate Change Ambassador Yu Qingtai stresses the importance of the Copenhagen conference and emphasizes that China is not interested in participating in efforts to blame other countries for any potential failure. He believes that such attempts are simply excuses for their own obstructive and unhelpful behavior throughout the process. INDIAN ENVIRONMENT MINISTER JAIRAM RAMESH believes that the main obstacle to progress is some parties' desire to unilaterally abandon agreements, leading to a lack of trust and blame being placed. MICRONESIA PRESIDENT EMANUEL MORI appeals for help in saving his people and other small island nations, urging collaboration to protect the planet for future generations. JAPANESE ENVIRONMENT MINISTER SAKIHITO OZAWA questions whether it will be acceptable to developing nations if the US, China, and others do not join in an agreement. The main issue currently lies within these nations. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has observed slogans in the streets, one of which said "don't change the climate, change the system." He believes this message is relevant and suggests focusing on changing the system rather than the climate. As a result, we will start to protect the planet. Capitalism is a harmful system that is leading to the destruction of life. Another memorable quote is, "if the climate were a bank, it would have been saved by now", and I believe that to be true. If the climate were a large capitalist bank, it would have already been saved by the wealthy governments. This statement was made by Marcus Stephen, the President of Nuaru (South Pacific). Nuaru is a small island nation, only 21 sq km (8 sq miles) in size. How much of our island should we sacrifice? We are isolated by the Pacific Ocean with rising sea levels and no other options. We must not play the blame game but instead take responsibility for the world and our children. George Papandreou, Greek Prime Minister. We are present and accountable for the future of the world. Our voices at this moment must turn this dream into a tangible reality. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd expresses concern about prioritizing appearance over substance and inaction over action. He emphasizes the importance of collective action for sustainable development as the planet's ability to support it is at risk. I am concerned that this conference may result in failing all the children in the world. Each of us will be held accountable for our actions or inaction. South African President Jacob Zuma believes this is a critical issue that could determine the fate of the world's population. We must come together and make important decisions as this issue poses a threat to humanity's survival. The most important thing is to prioritize helping others who are struggling, rather than focusing on personal gain. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak emphasizes the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions for the future of our planet and our children. In order to truly make a difference, we must work together and take action collectively. Rather than waiting for others to act first, we should take the initiative ourselves. UGANDAN ENVIRONMENT MINISTER MARIA MUTAGAMBA expressed concern that the normal procedure is not being followed and that there is a tendency to overlook certain important aspects. She remains hopeful that an agreement will be reached. NORWEGIAN PRIME MINISTER JENS STOLTENBERG emphasized the critical stage of the conference and stressed the need for all parties to take responsibility in reaching an agreement the following day. Stoltenberg highlighted the importance of ambitious emissions targets and the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, with wealthier countries bearing the main responsibilities. Every country must do their part, and Norway is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2020. If a strong global climate agreement is reached, we will strive to be carbon neutral by 2030. Prime Minister Edward Natapei of Vanuatu expressed concern for those affected by the recent cyclone in Fiji. This is just a glimpse of what could potentially worsen if there is no ambitious climate agreement in place.
