What is the Commonwealth Climate Change Action Plan?
This plan was endorsed by Commonwealth Heads of Government on the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda in November 2007. The Plan calls for action in 6 areas: (1) quality and participation of governments in international negotiations on climate change; (2) consideration of the human and economic aspects of climate change, drawing on Commonwealth networks; (3) improved land use management and sustainable use of forest resources, including efforts to widen international knowledge and support of the Iwokrama Rainforest Programme; (4) impact of the concept of carbon miles in food production and exports, especially with respect to developing countries; (5) natural disaster risk management in member countries; and (6) technical assistance and other support to least developed countries and vulnerable small states.
