Beyond War Endorses Mediation to Prevent Climate Change Wars
Beyond War Endorses Mediation to Prevent Climate Change Wars
Please Join in the Endorsements
In December 2009, delegates from around the world will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark for the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Copenhagen will provide a critical opportunity for the world’s nations to reach a comprehensive agreement before the commitments set out in the Kyoto Protocol expire in 2012.
Mediators Beyond Borders (MBB) [www.mediatorsbeyondborders.org] is the only dispute resolution organization presently approved to be an Observer at the Copenhagen meeting, and is urging all delegates to include a mediation provision in the climate change treaty. Currently, the Kyoto Protocol includes negotiation, conciliation, arbitration, and judicial options, but not mediation.
Beyond War:
• endorses the proposal ,
• urges you to endorse it personally as a member of Beyond War,
• asks you to help get additional organizational endorsements.
Beyond War President, Elaine Hallmark, an environmental mediator in her own right, and her husband, Beyond War Voting Member, Bill Hallmark, will be traveling to the Copenhagen meeting in December and to the Barcelona pre-meeting in November as representatives of Beyond War on the MBB team. We’ll stay current with the process by providing a blog or other information about their experiences once they are underway.
Right now, we need your help to support the proposal by adding your and your organization’s endorsement. Thank you in advance for your help with this critical action.
