Together with other organisations I will be involved in a panel today on the theme "Copenhagen and the right to development".
It is obvious that climate change is absolutely a core issue when it comes to development and a fair and sustainable development.
But sometimes I think that even if there are so much of goodwill when talking about climate change ; Are we really aware of what is at stake and what it takes to change?
On one hand it looks likes it is just to much and the means to shape a low carbon future are simply not there. On the other hand, we got the scientific knowledge, we know what to do and the costs is not as much as the money put into the financial systems to save the bank system.
We need a new way of thinking and to cut the structures that created the "carbon-chaos" that we are facing today.
We need other driving forces for change then just money. We need a vision of a better way of living in the global village. And it is not that far away. We just need to turn around and think more in terms of sustainable then economic growth. In one way it is as simple as that. And at the same time it is so complicated! But we have to be hopeful and on our toes to get together and act.
