亞太國家領袖表示共同攜手合作，正視環境變遷的挑戰之意願，偕同意此行動對未來世代福祉的重要性。
於祕魯首都利馬舉行的年度峰會，23日（周日）閉幕時，亞大經濟合作會議（APEC）的政府領袖們，確認對於位在聯合國程序架構下之「自此刻至2012年之後對於氣候變遷具決定性及有效性的長期合作」的支持。
同時，峰會尾聲發言也與中國國家主席胡錦濤所提出的提案相呼應。胡錦濤在提案中表示，「所有參與者應該遵守聯合國氣候變化綱要公約以及京都協議書的規定，和共同然而分化責任的精神，主動領導協商以促塔里島路線圖的履行，同時依據相關條件提出有效政策措施，以緩和氣候變遷」。
全球大幅度減排溫室效應氣體，這幾年來一直是聯合國的主要議題，而亞太經濟合作會議領袖們的發言，也對聯合國的方向表示支持。接下來，聯合國將在12月1日於波蘭展開為期12天的氣候會談，該會談決議的協議將會提交到2009年12月於哥本哈根的聯合國氣候會議上定案。該協議會是京都協議書第一承諾期於2012年屆滿之後，新的國際氣候協議。
Leaders of the Asia-Pacific countries expressed their willingness to work together to "confront the challenge of climate change," which they agreed "will be crucial to the wellbeing of future generations."
At the close of their annual meeting Sunday in Lima, the heads of state and government belonging to the Asia-Pacific Economic Council, APEC, affirmed their support for "decisive and effective long term cooperation now, up to and beyond 2012 to address climate change" under the United Nations process.
The language in the final statement echoes that in proposals put forward by Chinese President Hu Jintao.
"All parties should, in keeping with the requirement of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol and the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities," actively conduct negotiations for the implementation of the "Bali Roadmap" and take effective policy measures in light of their respective conditions to mitigate climate change," the Chinese president said in his proposal.
The APEC leaders statement supports "a global emission reduction goal" for heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions that is the primary issue to be negotiatied through the UN process.
The next step in this process is a 12 day set of talks opening in Poland December 1. An agreement acceptable to all parties is to be finalized in Copenhagen in December 2009. The agreement will follow the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.
