Ludford urges Livingstone to help pile pressure on Bush
June 28, 2001 12:00 AM
London's Liberal Democrat MEP, Baroness Sarah Ludford, has today written to Ken Livingstone urging him to add his signature to a letter from European Mayors to President George Bush regarding the Kyoto protocol.
The letter was drafted by Paolo Costa, the Mayor of Venice, urging Mr Livingstone to join with the Mayors of other major European cities to ask President Bush to reconsider his stance on the threat of climate change.
Baroness Ludford commented:
"Venice is a particularly acute example of the threat of rising sea levels from global warming - but much of London is also below sea level, so we are not immune from flooding. I hope that Mr Livingstone will add his signature to this letter. Issues such as the environment cannot be tackled by any one country alone. We must work globally on world-wide issues if we are to succeed."
