More and more security at the UN

Posted in Gilmore Updates on September 24, 2008 by Joanna Gash

Just arrived home from a very exciting meeting on climate change with about 250 delegates held at the Hyatt Hotel. They say it is a small world, how true, as I met one of the African women who was in Washington 18 months ago at the very large christian breakfast week when I was there. That was when I first met Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama.

The keynote address was given by the deputy PM of PNG. the issue all speakers (7) raised was their dismay at the bailout of Wall Street $700 b illion and comparing that with the worlds poverty level and climate change costs especially for the most poor countries. When you hear these sorts of speakers it does make you realize that there has to be a global perspective. If you ever wondered as I did how they can translate so many languages at the one time...... all it takes is a small earpiece and select the language you want, simply fantastic.
