| dc.description | UNEP’s theme for the Doha meeting is Bridging Gaps — Are You? Bringing down emissions is technologically achievable, but it will take increased ambition not just among nations but among cities, companies, civil society and citizens. While governments negotiate an agreement to come into operation by 2020, the intervening years need to see the scaling-up and acceleration of low carbon strategies aimed, for example, at increasing the share of clean energy improving the energy efficiency of buildings and increasing finance for forests and other mitigation measures. Moving forward on the outcomes of the Rio+20 can assist in areas ranging from sustainable procurement of goods and services by governments and local authorities to more widespread corporate sustainability reporting by companies. Countries have also begun working towards a suite of Sustainable Development Goals, to compliment the poverty-related Millennium Development Goals, by 2015. These will underline that such issues as climate change, loss of the natural world, deforestation and pollution are everyone’s challenge and are unlikely to be resolved unless developed countries rapidly decouple growth from over-consumption of natural resources — including fossil fuels. | |
