Byers heads climate change task force
A new international task force aimed at tackling climate change is being launched.
It will bring together leading think-tanks from countries including the UK.
Former Cabinet minister Stephen Byers will chair the first meeting of the task force, in Windsor, Berkshire.
He will warn that climate change was the "overriding environmental challenge" of our age.
He said: "We have a responsibility to future generations to hand to them a planet that is habitable and rich in life.
"Climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities threatens that objective."
The task force, which includes the Institute for Public Policy Research, will make recommendations to governments in 2005.
