APEC: Climate change solutions or serious stalling?

WWF requests APEC and ABAC delegates to resolve:

That climate change is a grave threat to the economies, societies and the natural environment of the Asia-Pacific region;
That the global objective of climate change policy should be to avoid a warming of 2°C above preindustrial levels because this should avoid the worst impacts of climate change;
That in order to avoid a warming of 2°C above pre-industrial levels long-term greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere need to be stabilised at about 400 parts per million carbon dioxide equivalent and to achieve stabilisation at this level global greenhouse gas emissions need to start to fall by 2015 and be reduced by about 50% of 1990 levels by 2050.
That achieving emission reductions of this magnitude in an equitable manner will require a global framework of emission reduction targets, timelines, policies and measures - including measures to assist developing countries to pursue a highly efficient, low emission pathway to development - to be in place by 2012.2,3
That business in the Asia-Pacific region would benefit from the early adoption of emission reduction targets.
