Global Humanitarian Forum Geneva to hold its first Annual Meeting |
 |
In the aftermath of Myanmar’s Cyclone Nargis and in view of the ongoing global food crisis, the Forum’s President Kofi Annan has called together more than 200 leaders from all sectors of society worldwide to urgently address what he calls “the human face of climate change”: the world’s poorest and most vulnerable populations affected by ever worse storms, drought and floods.
The Annual Meeting 2008 (June 24-25) will pool the expertise and experience of an uncommon combination of leading people from across sectors. They will work to develop creative solutions and boost action to meet the urgent needs of those worst affected by climate change. In solidarity with the world’s most vulnerable, the Meeting will place climate justice high on the agenda as the guiding principle in the international response to climate change and as the basis for any future global climate agreement.
