第3屆柯林頓全球行動計畫28日於美國紐約正式落幕後,前美國總統柯林頓表示,與會者已達成協議,未來有1億7000萬英畝的森林將受到保護或復育,上百萬人可享有更好的健康照護、穩定收入和教育。
柯林頓的新書書名《贈與》也是今年會議的主題之一。2007年的會議重點主要放在4大領域——教育、能源與氣候變遷、全球健康和減貧。
「讓孩子活下去」基金會的發言人凱斯表示,基金會已發起「1美分活動」,藉由公司企業的小小捐獻,幫助愛滋病童獲得所需的醫療。
柯林頓也承諾會100%抵銷此次會議所製造的溫室氣體排放量。益可環境公司與柯林頓全球行動計劃共同計算2007年的排放量,Van Ness Feldman律師事務所將協助雙方制訂協議,允許柯林頓全球行動計劃抵銷這些排放量。
When the formal portion of the third annual Clinton Global Initiative closed in New York on Friday, former President Bill Clinton announced that participants' commitments will result in 170 million acres of forest protected or restored, plus millions of people with better access to health care, sustainable incomes, and education.
"Giving," the title of Clinton's new book, is also the theme of the Clinton Global Initiative, CGI. The program for the 2007 Annual Meeting concentrated on four focus areas - education, energy and climate change, global health, and poverty alleviation.
Keys, a spokesperson for the Keep a Child Alive foundation, said the organization is launching a "Good Cents Initiative" through which businesses make small contributions to help children with AIDS get the medicine they need.
The greenhouse gas emissions created by the CGI meetings will be offset 100 percent, Clinton has pledged. EcoSecurities is working with CGI to calculate 2007 emissions and Van Ness Feldman will assist CGI, the donors, and EcoSecurities to structure an agreement that allows donors to offset these emissions.
