2008 Hokkaido Toyako Summit

2008 Hokkaido Toyako Summit

Highlights of the Hokkaido Toyako Summit outcomes include:

• G8 Leaders made substantive progress on several critical economic, political and environmental issues facing the world, including what Prime Minister Harper termed a "breakthrough" agreement on the urgent challenge of global warming. 
• There was a new consensus on climate change, now all G8 countries, including the United States and Russia, have agreed on the goal of a 50 percent reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Moreover, G8 leaders have also accepted Canada's longstanding argument that the post-2012 global climate change framework must include all major emitters. 
• G8 leaders also participated in the Major Economies Meeting which allowed for a constructive discussion between major developed and developing economies that will help lay the groundwork for a post-2012 global framework on climate change. 
• Leaders also addressed other important global issues, including aid for Africa, energy security and food aid as well as Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.
