I’m writing to urge you and your government to avoid giving the timber industries special conditions by creating massive loopholes on forestry in a global climate treaty.
Developed countries such as ours need to play a bold leadership role to get the talks back on track. It’s time for us to lead, please ensure that Australia supports honest and complete accounting of emissions from forestry and land use at the current UN climate negotiations in Cancun, Mexico.
The world can’t afford accounting tricks -- what is needed is real, science-based climate action.
I believe that protecting forests is a very important action we can take as one measure for tackling climate change.
Sincerely,
Peter Campbell
