Climate concern



Greenpeace activists urged Asean leaders to put global warming on the agenda of a summit being held this weekend in Cha-am when discussing the region's efforts to deal with the global economic crisis.

Activists unfurled a banner reading "Ten Nations - One Vision, Climate Action Now" on the back of a billboard across the street from the Dusit Thani Hua Hin, where the 14th Asean Summit is being held.

"We urge Asean member states to use stimulus packages to prioritise and support green investments which help put Southeast Asian economies on a low carbon-growth pathway instead of maintaining and carrying on with investments which propagate climate-changing emissions and contribute to global insecurity," Von Hernandez, Greenpeace's executive director for Southeast Asia, said in a letter to Asean leaders. |- Deutsche Presse-Agentur
