Climate change is the greatest threat humanity faces, and has mainly been caused by G8 countries: Over 80 percent of the emissions in the atmosphere today have been produced by the G8. These countries still emit more than 40 percent of global CO2 emissions, despite being home to only 13 percent of the global population. It is the responsibility of G8 leaders to make clear binding commitments to fight climate change.
