UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Monday that national action alone is insufficient in tackling climate change.
"Given the nature and magnitude of the challenge, national action alone is insufficient," Ban told an unprecedented summit on climate change at the UN Headquarters in New York.
"That is why we need to confront climate change within a global framework, one that guarantees the highest level of international cooperation," he said.
He pointed out that the UN climate process is the recognized appropriate forum for negotiating global action, and stressed that "our goal must be nothing short of a real breakthrough in Bali," where the UN Climate Change Conference is to be held in December 2007.
