Fight climate change to secure economies: Brown | Latest News
London, July 5 (Xinhua) British Prime Minister Gordon Brown Saturday called on the Group of Eight (G-8) industrialised countries to boost their efforts to fight climate change issues for the sake of their economies.
“The world is suffering a triple challenge: of higher fuel prices, higher food prices and a credit crunch,” said Brown in an interview with The Guardian.
“My message to the G-8 will be that instead of sidelining climate change and the development agenda, the present economic crisis means that instead of relaxing our efforts we have got to accelerate them.”
“This agenda is not just the key to the environment and reducing poverty, but the key to our economic future as well,” he said.
