The event is over but the campaign has just begunâ€¦

As the stress and excitement of the day wears off I am slipping into a leisurely stupor! But there are still some slightly frenzied recollections of the day floating through my head.

Heiligen-sham: the devil's in the detail

So we are about to pack up the office and head home, and to be honest I am feeling pretty blue after the final G8 announcements today. Despite your efforts, and despite the efforts of people here in Germany, this yearâ€™s G8 was a missed opportunity.

A Cheap Promise, A Costly Decision

The G8 today announced their decision on â€œa commitment of $60 billion for AIDS, TB and malaria money.â€ But beneath the spin, dazzling the world with numbers, in fact they have just â€˜reannouncedâ€™ their existing aid budgets, with only $3 billion in new money. This is miles off the 2005 promise of $50 billion new aid a year needed to halve poverty, and while important in the fight against HIV / AIDS, should be seen for what it is â€“ a small step when we need a big leap.

Hi there. This is the first Oxfam group blog from your favourite G8 Big Heads. Unlike the real G8, we have managed to get our official position together pretty quickly. The concert yesterday rocked!

So yesterday morning we were on the beach just chilling out. Merkel was trying to get us together to chat about important stuff, but we were all distracted by the sun and surf. Bush was busy building his sandcastle empire, and we were all lazing around.And then we got an unexpected phone call via our agent.

Has the G8 climate really changed?

The G8 yesterday announced their agreement on climate change. And while it has the appearance of success, we here at Oxfam still have issues about what theyâ€™ve agreed.
Iâ€™ve only been working on climate change for a few months, but what I do know is that itâ€™s already hitting people in developing countries first and worst. And without adequate money and the proper support systems to deal with the problem, these people will carry on suffering and it will only get worse â€“ more droughts, more floods, more famine. More poverty.
