The success of the G8 meeting lies in large part in the fact that consensus was achieved on the importance of global targets and the need for each country to establish targets. It was very important to arrive at a consensus with member countries like the United States.
With other countries like India and China, the process is now underway. For the next months or the next year, the goal will be to continue to urge each of these countries to commit.
The real challenge lies ahead. We have left Heiligendamm with an agreement to move forward collectively, with an agreement to engage the key industrializing countries. We all know the economic story of China; it will, within very short order, become the world's largest emitter. It's tremendously important to engage them in a discussion. So we've proceeded with an agreement to create a framework that does engage them realistically.
The G8 members, under the leadership of Germany, had convened a meeting at officials level before the final summit that for the first time brought the five countries together in a discussion with the G8 on climate change, but it was understood that this was very preliminary and would only be really blessed and approved and launched following Heiligendamm.
So we come away with, I think, a two-step process: first, the engagement of the U.S., and second, a process to engage the others.
