Kerry Says Countries Have Responsibility To Work Together on Climate Change Issues

摘要

Secretary of State John Kerry made the economic case Oct. 7 for international action on addressing climate change, saying the world could create millions of jobs in the energy sector through action and is inviting catastrophe by not working to address the risks. Kerry, speaking before the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit in Bali, Indonesia, called action on climate change an international moral responsibility, but also a practical business responsibility. Failing to act on climate change would invite a global crisis, create uncertainty in the business community, and risk insolvency for insurance companies, according to Kerry.
