"I have decided to join this Network because fighting climate change is the greatest challenge the world is facing today - far more complicated than the financial crisis. Within the network I have access to information and can discuss this issue with colleagues from other countries. My own contribution is via my TV-shows, books and articles, and speeches that I give in public and private forums, as well as by debating in various conferences."
