The first ever large scale international conference “2nd APGN” is to be held between April 30th and May 2nd at the Tianmu Convention Center. Environmentalists and domestic and foreign NGOs are among the invited participants. “Fair Share” is the main theme of the conference; while stressing equal access to public resources, each individual at the same time, is responsible for living a sustainable lifestyle. Highlight of the conference agenda includes reviewing the post-Copenhagen coping strategies of all nations.

All is not well: climate negotiations in a new avatar

Climate change negotiations—cold after the freeze at Copenhagen—have warmed up again. In early April, negotiators met in Bonn, Germany, on the possible agreement that could be signed at the meet scheduled in December 2010 in Mexico. This was followed by a US-convened meet of the Major Economies Forum, better named the major emitters forum, in Washington. Next weekend, the group calling itself basic—China, Brazil, South Africa and India—is meeting in Cape Town to come up with its common position on negotiations.

【轉載】關於綠人大會--第二屆全球綠人大會巴西現場觀察

Posted Tue, 2010-03-09 21:23 by nevathir

第二屆全球綠人大會，於今年5月1~4日在巴西聖保羅召開，所謂的全球綠人（The Global Greens）是指全球綠黨及以環境、社會改革運動為志業的綠色政治運動者，這是ㄧ個以環保、和平、社會正義為共同訴求，所進行的跨國串連政治力量與國際 網絡。台灣曾參與2001 年於澳洲坎培拉的第一次全球綠人會議，全球綠人分成歐、美、菲、亞太四區，台灣更是亞太綠色聯盟的發起國之ㄧ。

4 月中旬，接到台灣綠黨的邀請加入開會代表團，身為環保團體的一員，對於這個難得以環境議題為主的國際會議，自然是深感興趣，即使是在辦公室工作最繁忙之 際，理監事與工作同仁們也毅然決定讓我可以請兩星期的假，飛越半個地球前往陌生的南美洲參與此一盛會。

前往巴西的代表團共有22人，由台 灣綠黨領隊，號召環保組織、勞工組織、都市改革與社區規劃的工作者、以及農民、原住民、學生保育社團代表所組成。儘管準備時間匆促，來自不同領域的成員 們，仍然在行前努力將各項議題與提案匯整翻譯完成，希望在大會上能有最好的表現。

全球綠人(The Global Greens)是 全世界第一個全球性的政黨聯盟，所謂綠人是指以綠黨或環境及社會改革為志業的綠色政治運動者。在台灣，綠黨雖然成立了十一年，但對大 多數人而言，仍然是陌生的，但是在全球，綠人卻是一股不容忽視的關鍵力量。
