The Member Nations of the United Nations Council,

Demand the co-action of all member states towards the reduction of global levels of greenhouse gases,

Call upon all developed countries designated Annex 1 in the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to reaffirm their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
