V. REASSERTING AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY

The Bush Administration has reversed decades of American leadership in the world, putting the US on a “go it alone” path that has threatened our security and economic well-being.
This destructive path extends to the environmental arena, where the Bush Administration is imperiling America’s economic future by checking out of international climate change negotiations, ignoring international marine threats, and giving only lip service to global biodiversity protection.

• Reengaging in the development of an international climate change strategy. Bush’s abrupt and unilateral decision to abandon discussions with the world community on
climate change was early evidence of this Administration’s misguided approach to dealing with the community of nations. Dropping out of international implementation of the Kyoto Protocol was foolhardy then, and it is even more obviously foolhardy today. In our absence, many of our major trading partners in Europe and elsewhere have been working on the details of international programs to manage greenhouse gas emissions. American interests are on the sidelines, having no ability to influence the development of a system that will profoundly affect the global approach to resource protection and investment in climate
change technologies -- issues in which American companies who conduct business around the world have a vital interest in.
