Climate Action at North Sea Ministers Meeting

Greenpeace activists promote renewable energy outside the 5th North Sea Ministers meeting which comes five months before the Johannesburg Earth Summit. Access to clean energy is a key indicator of sustainable development and poverty alleviation. Kick-starting a global renewables revolution could be the first real sign of the spirit of the Rio Earth Summit 10 years ago when governments promised to prioritise sustainable development.

Greenpeace hopes that by the Johannesburg Earth Summit this August, other world leaders will have pledged to stop supporting businesses that contribute to environmental problems and poverty. The international community should follow the North Sea Ministers' lead on renewables.
