Delegations from 200 countries will gather in Paris from November 30 to December 11 for a conference that is likely to be the most important climate change meeting in history, and the outcome of which will be closely watched by the World Jewelery Confederation (CIBJO).
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will bring together representatives of countries that have signed the Kyoto Protocol, which is an international treaty that obliges countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Most scientists agree that if effective measures are not taken, then during the next decade the average world temperature will rise by more than 2 degrees Celsius. This is the maximum that our planet can withstand before irreversible climatic shocks begin, Including a significant increase in the level of the world's oceans.
The aim of the conference is to provide a legally binding agreement on climate change. If the agreement is reached, the business is likely to face new requirements, such as increasing regulatory measures, raising taxes on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions, with the need for investments in renewable energy, natural gas and nuclear power, and with increasing Control consumers over the commercial activities of companies.
In this sense, say in CIBJO, the jewelry industry can view these difficulties in a positive way. CIBJO encourages its members to act immediately and reduce greenhouse gas emissions thanks to a system accessible exclusively to CIBJO members.
"Assuming, That the Paris conference will achieve its goals, we strongly recommend that you act now and take advantage of the CIBJO developments over the past three years.
