Muslim Leaders Issue Declaration On Global Climate Change
As reported by the Washington Post, last week Muslim leaders and scholars from 20 countries issued an Islamic Declaration on Global Climate Change. Issued in anticipation of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol taking place in Paris this December, 2015, it urges well-off nations and oil-producing states to lead the way in phasing out greenhouse gas emissions. It calls on governments and business to commit themselves to 100 % renewable energy and/or a zero emissions strategy as early as possible.
