During the G8 summit held in Heiligendamm, Germany, in June 2007, the Heads of State and Government of the leading industrialised nations described climate change as “one of the major challenges of mankind” with the potential “to seriously damage our natural environment and global economy” and agreed to take “strong and early action to tackle climate change in order to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”.
