Climate change is already harming people and ecosystems. Its reality can be seen in melting glaciers, disintegrating polar ice, thawing permafrost, dying coral reefs, rising sea levels, changing ecosystems and fatal heat waves. However, all of this is only the beginning. We are already experiencing dangerous climate change. What we need to do is to avoid catastrophic climate change. The climate is a global common, and the high contribution of industrialized and oil producing countries to climate change are bound to have global impacts.
Countries have common, but differentiated responsibility towards this problem. What is needed is a global greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of at least 50% by 2050 in order to limit global temperature rise below 2

الأهداف العامة: 
1. The Arab World supports and commits towards a global greenhouse gas reduction goal of at least 50% by 2050, while actively and positively engaging the global climate change debate / negotiation to meet that target. 2. Rich oil producing countries in the Arab World recognize and accept their responsibility for climate change according to their historic oil trade, and establish commitments to mitigate climate change accordingly. 3. The Arab League supports and ratifies a new protocol for the second commitment period, which includes specific CO2 emission caps for developing countries and specific obligations on rich fossil-fuel producing countries.
