Statement to the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Environment and Sustainable Development

Description

In this evaluation of the Bali climate change talks, the speaker suggests that among the significant accomplishments at Bali was the initiative by the Indonesian government in hosting two parallel Ministerial meetings for Finance and Trade Ministers. “The message is clear,” according to Mr. Drexhage, “successfully addressing climate change will carry significant implications for global investment, for world trade and for strong domestic actions. There are no magic bullets out there—an integrated economic response, led by strong public policy fiscal signals, is absolutely incumbent.”
