Lukashenko urges international community to stop ‘expressing concern’ in favor of action
DUBAI, 1 December (BelTA) – Countries should stop expressing concern. They should act to resolve climate security issues instead. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement in his speech during the 28th conference of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Dubai, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “Belarus encourages everyone, who has to undertake the burden of historical responsibility: first, to make a commensurate contribution to the resolution of climate security issues after centuries of a thoughtless attitude to nature; second, to step up support for developing countries and transition-economy countries; thirdly, to stop expressing concern and to start acting for the sake of preserving life on Earth.”
“It is possible that we have once again gathered here and will once again express our concern, unfortunately. Everyone will forget it in a week. We have no moral right to live only for our own selves. We have to look beyond the horizon. We have to respect nature laws and create the foundation for continuation of the human race here and now. On our planet. We have and will have no other home,” the president pointed out. “Let’s act. If we don’t start acting, nature will force us to live according to its own laws.”
