САЩ: Обама призовава американците да вземат мерки срещу промените в климата

US President Barack Obama urged that action must be taken in addressing climate change, during the Global Leadership in the Arctic in Anchorage conference in Alaska on Monday. Obama started by saying that he has come as "the leader of the world's largest economy and its second largest emitter to say that the United States recognises our role in creating this problem and we embrace our responsibility to help solve it and I believe we can solve it." He stressed that climate is "changing faster than our efforts to address it. That, ladies and gentleman must change," he said. "We are not acting fast enough." The conference on 'Global Leadership in the Arctic: Cooperation, Innovation, Engagement and Resilience' also known as the GLACIER conference, is designed to highlight international and domestic priorities in the Arctic and generate momentum in addressing the most pressing issues facing the northern region. Participating nations include the US, Canada, China, Germany, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and the UK, as well as representatives from the EU.
