"This initiative is justified in the context of the responsibilities assumed by the European Union towards developing countries and by the fact that the European Union is the world’s largest donor of humanitarian aid. In this respect, it is important for us to avoid duplication of initiatives involving developing countries that we have launched at Community or Member State level. I believe that it is vital for concern about climate change not to be a one-off commitment, but for us to take into account the importance of preventive action in all the measures adopted by the EU, especially those linked to development aid. Last but not least, I think that preventive action must be made a priority, more so than actions linked to humanitarian crises, bearing in mind that the costs of reconstruction are much higher in the wake of disasters. The European Union needs to show not only solidarity but also responsibility towards other regions in the world, which makes the Global Climate Change Alliance an important step in this direction."@en1
