The conference, attended by 130 international scientists and policy specialists, is the first to consider the global consequences of climatechange beyond 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 °F). 4 degrees of warming averaged over the globe translates into even greater warming in many regions, along with major changes in rainfall.
By 2015, the only countries in the region which will still pass the water scarcity test, at above 1,000 cubic meters per capita, will be Iraq and Sudan – and even that assumes that water supplies from Turkey and Ethiopia will continue to be sustained at their present levels.
Moreover, whilst climatechange and energy security remain high on the political agenda, and countries across the globe face severe economic challenges, the potential of fuel economy to save expenditure on oil and ease international financial imbalances adds to the imperative to make greater progress.
This was agreed by: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey,the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union, as well as Ethiopia, Spain, Senegal, Brunei, Kazakhstan, and Singapore.
