Hopenhagen

Hopenhagen is a movement, a moment and a chance at a new beginning. The hope that in Copenhagen this December – during the United Nations Climate Change Conference – we can build a better future for our planet and a more sustainable way of life. It is the hope that we can create a global community that will lead our leaders into making the right decisions. The promise that by solving our environmental crisis, we can solve our economic crisis at the same time.

Hopenhagen is change – and that change will be powered by all of us.

I’ve written my hope in Hopenhagen, just a few days before the United Nations Climate Change Conference takes place on 7 December 2009. Have you?

The declaration marked the start of the diplomatic and armed-resistance of the Indonesian National Revolution, fighting against the forces of the Netherlands until the latter officially acknowledged Indonesia’s independence in 1949. In 2005, the Netherlands declared that they had decided to accept 17 August 1945 as Indonesia’s independence date.

Is the financial storm easing?

Are we seeing a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel? Perhaps. A recent analysis based on economy situation at the Gulf revealed the possibility of financial recovery. It worth noting that most oil consumptions in major developed countries rely on the production (and the rate) of crude oil from this part of the world, and thus its role in the global economy system.

Well, I’m probably a complete novice in economy affairs, so I can’t comment much on its global ramifications nor its interlinkage to our lives. In the view of my small world, all I hope is speedy and timely financial recovery in the interest of my graduating buddies.

The worst of the financial crisis may be over for the Gulf as steadily strengthening oil prices and the return of foreign investors help to restore confidence in battered stock markets …
