On July 4th, 2008, the UNWTO ST-EP Foundation organized the Climate Change &
Millennium Development Goals Seoul Summit at the Great Conference Hall of the
National Assembly. On official visit to Korea, United Nations Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon has been invited to give a special speech on these crucial
issues.“Both developed and developing nations, including South Korea, have
responsibilities on global warming due to emitting carbon dioxide in the process
of industrialization. So we all should recognize we are responsible for this
matter, and thus we have to put effort on this issue to solve the problems,”
Secretary-General Ban emphasized on his speech. In addition, he said, “South
Korea has developed enough to take the leadership on international society”.The
event also included performances by the Ethiopian Children's Choir ETHI, the
Korean a capella Group ‘Voiture’ (Grand Prize Winner of 2008 IOC Singing and
Sports Contest) who sang for the first time the Climate Change song ‘Gift’,
accompanied by a Multicultural Children Choir. An official reception allowed all
the guests to gather and mingle.
