World's biggest conservation group urges CO2 cuts: Reuters - 14 October

摘要

An influential global network of governments, scientists and conservationists this week called for deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and said financial turmoil must not sideline work to safeguard animals and plants. "The clear message coming out of this meeting is that biodiversity underpins the well-being of human societies and their economies," said Julia Marton-Lefevre, head of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in a statement at the end of a 10-day IUCN congress in Barcelona.
