The convention has been criticized by being too weak to achieve its main objective, stated as stabilising greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere at the level that would prevent mad made interference with the climate system. 25 group of environmentalists from PNG and Solomon Islands have visited Japan to speak to Japanese consumers and Government officials about the effect of unsustainable logging in their country.
