General Meeting.
2nd Annual Meeting of Clinton global Initiative- 3 days, 215 commitments,
$ 7.3 billion
The second Annual General was held in New York from September
20-22,2006. During his remarks, president Clinton thanked the
participants for their efforts during the past three days and
stressed the important role of individuals in solving the world’s
most urgent problems.
“
Today, three billion people around the globe are trapped behind
the bars of extreme poverty, of a lack of health care, of war
and of environment devastation,” said President Clinton” It’s
our job to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom
of others. It’s our responsibility to cast off each other’s
chains.”
Over a thousand leaders of business, government and non- governmental
organizations attended this year’s meeting of CGI, in addition
to nearly 50 current and former heads of state. Highlights include
a commitment announced by First Lady Laura Bush to bring clean
drinking water to 1,000 communities in sub-Saharan Africa, and
Virgin Group CEO Richard Branson’s $3 billion commitment
towards bio-fuel initiatives.
