Washington: Lawmakers from the world's major industrial nations and five emerging economies gathered in Brazil from on Wednesday to discuss a global climate change treaty currently under consideration.
This will be the first gathering of legislators from wealthy and developing countries to help shape the post Kyoto Protocol agreement, said World Bank Vice President for Latin America, Pamela Cox.
"Legislators are more than just another voice," Cox said. "In many countries they are the ones that actually sponsor and enact the laws that may govern any future climate change agenda," she added.
Cox, who will attend the conference in Brasilia, said reducing the carbon emissions that cause climate change requires a global solution.
