G8's action plans "all talk and no action"
By WVI Policy & Advocacy on 7 Sep 2008
The annual G8 summit is attended by eight of the world's most powerful heads of government and represents an important opportunity to influence political direction on key global issues. World Vision sees the G8 summits as key opportunities to challenge the eight richest nations to change the lives of millions of poor children world-wide.
Unfortunately, millions living in poverty have little hope for change after the G8's action plans prove to be all talk and no action – again. In a press release issued at the close of the Summit, World Vision says G8 leaders have once again failed to show the kind of courageous leadership needed to save the lives and futures of millions of sick and hungry children world-wide. While the G8 did reiterate its 2005 commitments on ODA and HIV/AIDS, exactly how it will deliver these pledges remains a mystery. Click on 'Final release' below.
