Snow and ice are melting far above normal seasonal changes, and the changes are occurring at an accelerating pace.

This is thawing the permafrost surrounding the Arctic and threatening the release of very large quantities of additional carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere.

In April 2009, climate scientists and foreign ministers from states affected by melting snow and ice brought the attention of the globe to the plight of the cryosphere in their conference Melting Ice: Regional Dramas, Global Wake-Up Call.

As co-chairs of the conference we charged a group of leading scientists to summarize what we know about how fast this melting is occurring, and how it will affect the Earth and its climate.

That leads us to a second way to respond: take action that will make a real impact in the near future, and most especially, address short-lived climate pollutants such as black carbon, methane and tropospheric ozone.

Despite several efforts made to address this issue in an effective way it has not been possible to agree on a negotiating process within the framework of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons - CCW, partly because this forum is largely focussed on the perceived needs of the users and producers, partly because CCW decisions requires consensus.

Seeing the use of cluster munitions as an increasingly pressing humanitarian and developmental problem rather than a simple arms control or disarmament issue, the Norwegian government decided to initiate an international process with the objective of prohibiting cluster munitions causing unacceptable humanitarian and developmental harm.

As support for this new instrument is on the increase, it is important to remind ourselves that an international convention is a tool to ensure an end to the use of cluster munitions and to secure adequate assistance to affected peoples and communities, and not an objective in itself.
