"Earth's Hope is the theme of the EARCOS Global Issues Network Conference to be held in Beijing April 4, 5 & 6 at Western Academy of Beijing. The Global Issues Network is based on the ideas in Jean Francois Rischard's book High Noon "Twenty Global Problems, Twenty Years to Solve Them." Rischard identifies 20 urgent global problems and encourages the formation of small groups around the world to help solve them. This echoes Margaret Mead's famous quotation, "Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Global Issues Groups have been formed in many international schools throughout the world empowering international school students to help solve urgent global problems. We in EARCOS will now have the opportunity to do the same to create change in Asia. We invite all EARCOS schools to send a group(2-6) of students to this life changing event. "

"Our climate is changing. The planet is warming faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years. Global average temperatures have risen by 0.8ºC since the late 19th century, and 0.2ºC per decade over the past 25 years. Man-made greenhouse gas emissions have caused, and continue to cause, most of the observed temperature rise since the mid 20th century. Millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases are produced every day by human activity. These constant emissions into the Earth's atmosphere continue to drive global warming. "
