The &#8220;aspirational targets&#8221;, that are being promoted by some at such as APEC or the &#8216;major economies meeting&#8217; in Washington DC will not be effective in securing the emission reductions required. Recognizing that the non-binding targets in the United Nations Framework on Climate Change were inadequate to protect the climate, the international community agreed binding emission cuts &#8211; for industrialized nations &#8211; in Kyoto in 1997. A strong Mandate in Bali is a first critical step towards the negotiation of essential agreements that can peak emissions by 2015.
