Costa Rican president shares his country’s initiatives on environment
Channel NewsAsia - 2 hours 14 minutes ago
SINGAPORE : Visiting Costa Rican President Oscar Arias Sanchez believes that the new US administration under president—elect Barack Obama may change its stance on the Kyoto Protocol.
And he hopes that the US will take part in an upcoming climate change conference in Copenhagen.
Arias, who is a champion of the environment and a Nobel Laureate, shared his views on preserving nature at a lecture organised by the Institute of Policy Studies on Wednesday.
Like Singapore, Costa Rica too plants trees, but in the millions — five million last year and seven million by the end of this year.
The country also has environmental education in its elementary and high school curricula.
Arias has this advice for those out to destroy the environment: "Every forest we send to the ground brings us closer to massive waves of refugees displaced by climate change. Every stream we pollute brings us closer to struggles over the rare commodity of clean water, wars more vicious than any fought over gold or oil." — CNA/ms
