UK Prime Minister Tony Blair MP will deliver a keynote address ahead of the G8
Summit to senior legislators from the eight leading industrialized countries and
from emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa), together
with business leaders and high level representatives from international
organizations. The Prime Minister will address the GLOBE (Global Legislators
Organization for a Balanced Environment) Berlin Legislators Forum in the German

agreeing on a forward looking statement on climate change. Chancellor Merkel of
Germany and Prime Minister Abe of Japan will also both address the Forum by

their countries. Together with the private sector they can make a difference by
