". “The increasing divide between North and South must become our new frontier, our new challenge. We got rid of a wall in Europe. We cannot accept another wall which cuts the world in two”. These were the engaging words of Romano Prodi in Johannesburg on 2 September, when he had no hesitation in mentioning the need for ‘concrete measures’ and ‘binding timetables’! Unfortunately, you know what then happened, as I do. While we should not play down the advantages of the ratification of the Kyoto Process and the initiative to reduce by half, between now and 2015, the number of people without quality drinking water and adequate sanitary conditions, the Earth Summit has not been able, whatever Mr Prodi thinks, to “restore hope to the poorest”! “Let us ensure that the twenty-first century does not become, for future generations, a crime of humanity against life”...the task of the World Summit in Johannesburg was no more and no less than that! Unfortunately, the person who uttered these words, the French President, like many other Heads of State of the world’s biggest powers, has taken little account of the challenge set: the survival of the Earth and of human existence."@en1
