The leaders of the world's biggest polluting countries will be meeting in Germany this June and the agenda for this summit is being decided right now. Avaaz.org is a new global online network and is launching a campaign to tell these Presidents and Prime Ministers to start putting in place plans for a new climate change treaty to come into effect after Kyoto.
