President Wolfowitz emphasized that, "What we hear over and over is that a long-term equitable global regulatory solution is needed—one in which rich countries exert real leadership in providing support to developing countries in exchange for the global benefit of greener, smarter growth in developing countries.."

Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson stressed that businesses need a long-term policy framework, covering the next four to five decades, to justify the vast investments needed now in clean technologies. Last week he launched a $25 million prize to inspire innovators to develop a way to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
