"We do not share the governments’ and Commission’s words of triumph on the final compromise on the climate package. The attempt by the EU to lead global efforts against climate change has been watered down under pressure from the industrial lobby and conservative governments.
The famous ‘20/2020’ is a necessary first step, but the targets it sets are not ambitious enough. With the facility for European countries to buy a large portion of the pollution units which ‘correspond’ to them from developing countries, the historic responsibility of the western world is cynically being shifted to the poorer inhabitants of the planet. It would appear that the governments do not basically understand how critical the situation is.
The Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Left is not laying down its arms. We share the concern of environmental NGOs and will continue to demand more ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, for essential support for energy generation from renewable sources and for the binding long-term plan for further reductions in emissions after Copenhagen."@en1
