More Speeches: Nauru and Kenya

Nauru, Marcus Stephen.

We want a fair, legally binding agreement.  Negotiations very contentious and we have failed to reach a good outcome. It is clear that not all countries understand the severity of the issue.  I am under intense political pressure to abandon my principles.

We are told to be realistic. We have been offered $10 billion, for all the world. How is that realistic?

We have nowhere to go. I cannot compromise my commitment to my people.

We must be realistic and practical. We must follow the science.

We face a serious problem. What we need are serious solutions.

The large emitting countries must take responsibilities for their actions. There can be no political agreement when there is no political will.

[I have heard from Green colleagues that Kevin Rudd and Gordon Brown are twisting arms to get the African nations and low-lying island nations to cave]

Kenya; Kibaki. Equity means an approach that is fair.  Committing to a 10% forest cover by 2028, up from 2%, and investments in wind and solar. $25 billion by 2020 in investments and needs help.
