Global ‘Ecological Board of Directors’ Envisioned by State Department’s Climate Czar

Todd Stern, now the State Department’s special envoy for climate change, once pushed for the creation of an annual “E8” summit to address environmental issues. As the administration’s point man climate issues, Stern represents the United States in international environmental negotiations. One of his biggest upcoming negotiations will be the annual United Nations Conference on Climate Change, which will take place in Copenhagen this December. Stern proposed the formation of the environment-focused E8 – modeled after the “Group of 8” (G8) group of major industrialized democracies – in January of 2007. According to Stern, the new E8 would hold annual summits attended by the leaders of the member-states, just like those held by the G8. This would create, in Stern’s words, “an ecological board of directors able to operate outside the bureaucracy and politics of large UN conventions.” The future climate czar also emphasized the need to put major environmental decisions in the hands of a small group of people rather than a gathering of all nations...CNSNews
