Subject: Breaking the Climate Deadlock Report: "A Global Deal for Our Low Carbon Future"

Dear readers,

The Climate Group would like to draw your attention to a high level report launched by former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair in Tokyo today. Entitled 'Breaking the Climate Deadlock: A Global Deal for Our Low Carbon Future', the report was presented to Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda to coincide with the upcoming G8 Leaders' Summit at Lake Toyako.

The report represents the first phase of the broader 'Breaking the Climate Deadlock' initiative launched by Tony Blair and The Climate Group in March this year which aims to help build decisive political support, over the next 18 months, amongst key countries for a new international climate change agreement that will effectively address climate change beyond 2012.

Written by a group of recognised climate change experts drawn together by The Climate Group and under the direction of Mr Blair, the report has three key objectives:

1. Create a shared vision of what is needed to avoid dangerous climate change and show how this can be achieved without sacrificing countries' growth and development aspirations;

2. Establish the core elements of a global deal that would deliver this vision, in particular to drive the necessary investments in emissions reduction and adaptation;

3. Provide clear, ambitious but achievable goals for G8 Leaders, which would help ensure agreement on a new treaty in Copenhagen in December 2009,

The report is supported by a range of expert briefing papers – to be launched in the coming month – that provide detailed background information and analysis on specific issues.

We believe you will find the report an authoritative contribution to international efforts in breaking the climate deadlock and as a valuable guide for moving the world towards a low carbon future.
