1)Part one Thank you very much.Good morning.I want to thank the Secretary General for organizing this summit, and all the leaders who are participating.We are here for a common recognition that the threat from climate change is serious, urgent, and growing.Our generation’s response to this challenge will be judged by history.No nation, however large or small, wealthy or poor, can escape the impact of climate change.Rising sea levels threaten every coastline.More powerful storms and floods threaten every continent.More frequent droughts and crop failures breed hunger and conflicts.On shrinking islands, families are already being forced to flee their homes as climate refugees.The security and stability of each nation and all peoples--our prosperity, our health, and our safety--are in jeopardy.And the time we have to reverse this tide is running out.And yet, we can reverse it.John F.Kennedy once observed that “Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man.” It is true that for too many years, mankind has been slow to respond or even recognize the magnitude of the climate threat.But this is a new day.It is a new era.2)part two And I am proud to say that we have done more to promote clean energy and reduce carbon pollution in the last eight months than at any other time in our history.We’ve proposed policies aimed at both increasing fuel economy and reducing greenhouse gas pollution for all new cars and trucks--a standard that will also save consumers money and our nation oil.We’re moving forward with our nation’s first offshore wind energy projects.We’re investing billions to capture carbon pollution so that we can clean up our coal plants.And just this week, we announced that for the first time ever, we’ll begin tracking how much greenhouse gas pollution is being emitted throughout the country.But though many of our nations have taken bold action, we did not come here to celebrate progre today.We came because there’s so much more progre to be made.We came because there’s so much more work to be done.It is work that will not be easy.As we head towards Copenhagen, there should be no illusions that the hardest part of our journey is in front of us.3)part 3 We seek sweeping but neceary change in the midst of a global receion, where every nation’s most immediate priority is reviving their economy and putting their people back to work.And so all of us will face doubts and difficulties in our own capitals as we try to reach a lasting solution to the climate challenge.But those rapidly growing developing nations that will produce nearly all the growth in global carbon emiions in the decades ahead must do their part, as well.Some of these nations have already made great strides with the development and deployment of clean energy.Still, they need to commit to strong measures at home and agree to stand behind those commitments just as the developed nations must stand behind their own.We cannot meet this challenge unle all the largest emitters of greenhouse gas pollution act together.There’s no other way.We must also energize our efforts to put other developing nations--especially the poorest and most vulnerable--on a path to sustained growth.These countries are already suffering from the warming planet--famine, drought, disappearing coastal villages, and the conflicts that arise from scarce resources.Their future depends not only on the growing economy but also on a cleaner planet.Because without clean water and fertile land to plant, it will do little to alleviate the poverty.4)part 4 Mr.Secretary, as we meet here today, the good news is that there’s finally widespread recognition of the urgency of the challenge before us.We know what needs to be done.We know that our planet’s future depends on a global commitment to permanently reduce greenhouse gas pollution.We know that if we put the right rules and incentives in place, we will unleash the creative power of our best scientists and engineers and entrepreneurs to build a better world.And so many nations have already taken the first step on the journey towards that goal.But the journey is long and the journey is hard.It’s a journey that will require each of us to persevere through setbacks, and fight for every inch of progre.So let us begin.For if we are flexible and pragmatic, if we can resolve to work tirelely in common effort, then we will achieve our common purpose: a world that is safer, cleaner, and healthier;and a future that is worthy of our children.
