Reflection on The Green Week


The Green Week is now well behind us and it is time to take a moment and look back on this event. It has been a great opportunity for CHAMP to take part in a big and international event. We were able to reach many different actors and attend numerous conferences.

European commissioner for the environment Stavros Dimas said: “We need an ambitious international agreement at the Copenhagen conference in December followed by determined and effective international action. It is the future of our planet that is at stake and time is running out.” He added that, “Climate change is a cross-cutting issue that not only affects the natural environment we depend on but also has important impacts on our economies and social fabric.” We feel that the world is comming to crossroads, the decisions made in the upcomming COP15 will have a great influence in the outcome of climate change.
