UNGA Resolution on Climate Change and Security
Posted on June 5th, 2009 by Dr. Wil Burns
The UNGA passed a watered down resolution on the interface of climate change and security today; the resolution also calls on the Security-General to issue a report on the matter for UNGA’s next session. The press release is available on the General Assembly’s site.
A webcast on the debate on the resolution is available on the Islands First website.
I will post a link to the text of the resolution when it becomes available, as well as a brief analysis.
