L'Aquila (it), ravaged by a devastating earthquake earlier this year, hosted on the 8th, 9th and 10th of July 2009 the G8 summit. On the agenda: reaching an agreement on the climate change objectives.
The first day the G8 top came to the consensus that they will not allow a raise in temperature by more than two degrees Celsius in comparison to the level of the beginning of last century.
On the second day the G8 summit expanded with the emerging economies, the result: The emerging economies agree with the objectives but do not want to cut down there CO2 emissions with 50% by 2050.
During the last day they decided a change of course in there policy towards the fight against malnutricion. Instead of donating loads of food there will be investments in the third worlds' food production.
There have been made some important steps towards the climate change threath, let us hope they are sufficient and lead to action.
