The Vedic prayer invokes divine intervention to bless and protect the environment. "Do not harm the environment; do not harm the water and the flora; earth is my mother, I am her son; … Tranquility be to the atmosphere, to the earth, to the waters, to the crops and vegetation." "Whatever I dig from thee, O Earth, may that have quick recovery again. O purifier, may we not injure thy vitals or thy heart". The Seers of Rig Veda speak on behalf of earth for its Principle of Replenishment, "You give me and I give you".But we forgot it in our over enthusiasm and have evidently lost much. There is not an easy solution now to workwell for everyone, but there are solutions that do work. Open minds about the power of common efforts can give us another opportunity.

1. Time for business leadership ! Early, bold and comprehensive action to reduce climate change is absolutely necessary. Businesses must take action to reduce their carbon footprint and to develop innovative solutions. I particularly encourage business involvement in leadership initiatives, such as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon July 2007 Caring for Climate

15. Consensus on the benefits of early action The IEA scenarios require urgent implementation of unprecedented and far-reaching new policies in the energy sector The risks of delayed climate action will cost at least a continuous 5% of world GDP (Stern Review 2006) 45 trillion dollars are equivalent to 1.1 % of world GDP Energy innovation and fossil fuel substitution can save 51 trillion dollars and stabilise oil markets

16. The road post Kyoto, to Copenhagen 2009… The challenge is not the cost but the rules of burden distribution between rich and developing nations A political will and decision to set a target for carbon/GHGs emission levels that limits the risks of climate change while ensuring economic development and poverty reduction… A time table for rapid and concerted action… Bali Action Plan A long term vision
