"This group would be comprised of the world's major carbon-emitting nations and hold an annual summit devoted to international ecological and resource issues," she said.
Summing up her position, Clinton said the next US president "will have a moment of opportunity to reintroduce America to the world and restore our leadership."
"To build a world that is safe, prosperous, and just, we must get out of Iraq, rediscover the value of statesmanship, and live up to the democratic values that are the deepest source of our strength," she said.
To achieve the world it wanted the US must face up to an unprecedented array of challenges in the twenty-first century, threats from states, non-state actors, and nature itself, Clinton said.
"The next president will be the first to inherit two wars, a long-term campaign against global terrorist networks, and growing tension with Iran as it seeks to acquire nuclear weapons. The United States will face a resurgent Russia whose future orientation is uncertain and a rapidly growing China that must be integrated into the international system," she said.
"Moreover, the next administration will have to confront an unpredictable and dangerous situation in the Middle East that threatens Israel and could potentially bring down the global economy by disrupting oil supplies. Finally, the next president will have to address the looming long-term threats of climate change and a new wave of global health epidemics," Clinton said.
