"Last week, for the third time, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences organised the World Science Forum in cooperation with the EU, UNESCO and the International Council for Science. Scientists and decision-makers from more than 60 countries participated in the World Science Forum, including four Heads of State, the Director-General of UNESCO and the Commission’s Environment [...] (interjection: I am sorry, Mr President, but I cannot carry on like this!). As László Sólyom, President of the Republic of Hungary, recommended the creation of a world environment organisation in his address, the leaders of the United Nations Environment Programme announced the formation of a new international organisation. It was recommended at the World Forum that the parliaments of as many countries as possible should establish the institution of a commissioner responsible for future generations. The main message of the World Forum is that science and politics must act together to halt climate change and the destruction of the environment. According to the participants, a ‘scientific Davos’ has been created in Budapest, in other words, Budapest is now for science what Davos is for economic issues. The next event in the series will be in 2009, when it is intended to host the world’s science, education and finance ministers in Budapest, as the main event of the Year of Creativity. I would like to ask the Commission and you to support the event and the concept behind it, that is to say, we must defend ourselves and future generations as well as the environment and sustainability. Thank you for the floor, Mr President."@en1
