Mr Harvie called for a legally binding global treaty which made 2015 a global peak year for emissions and he said there was a need for support for lowcarbondevelopment in poorer countries.
The peaking of global and national emissions should take place as soon as possible, recognizing that the timeframe for peaking will be longer in developing countries, bearing in mind that social and economic development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities in developing countries and that low-carbon development is indispensible to sustainable development.
We believe that the Greater Mekong region has the potential to become a world leader by pursuing an innovative, lowcarbon, green development pathway that will foster economic growth and create opportunities for its people, while conserving the natural environment.
