The world of climate change negotiations is divided into two: the wealthy emitters and the vulnerable poor. Just like disease, the climate change binds citizens of all nations. There is strong enough reason to look at global solutions to a global problem. This has been said before: we must recognise that the greatest challenge of the 21st century is not a scientific or technological challenge: it is the social challenge of bringing change to those who need it the most. It is with this in mind that the negotiators go forward towards 2009 when the final successor of Kyoto would be adopted.
