Recalling previous ICW Resolutions,
Recognising the growing urgency for all countries to take active measures to improve the world's ecology and environment through reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and
Believing that such reduction requires increasing reliance on renewable energy sources,
The International Council of Women calls upon all its member councils to urge their national governments to:
1. Subscribe to and implement the Kyoto Protocol and its successors, as long as they seek to enact similar outcomes such as moving away from fossil fuels, and work actively for their implementation,
2. Co-operate with other developed and developing countries in measures to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere with the object of mitigating catastrophic world-wide climatic changes, and
3. Support and encourage the development of renewable energy technologies such as solar and wind power, geothermal energy and the hydrogen economy.
