"Madam President, only a few days before Copenhagen, it appears more difficult than ever to come up with a legally binding agreement. We will have what someone has already called a two-way agreement, but this does not mean that we can afford to be complacent. The European Union must continue to lead the negotiations and apply pressure to the other parties.
Copenhagen should give rise to more than a mere declaration of intent. At the very least, Copenhagen should result in binding political commitments and a schedule that will allow the adoption of a post-Kyoto agreement in June 2010 in Bonn. The US, Japan, the BRIC countries and many others must take on commitments which are comparable to those of the European Union, since the sole efforts of the EU cannot come close to achieving the objective of limiting the temperature increase to 2° C.
Funding for the adaptation of developing countries must not be allowed to jeopardise the Millennium Development Goals, particularly in African countries, which are most affected by climate change.
Copenhagen should also help to change the global energy paradigm by supporting renewable energy and energy conservation. This is the way of the future, not only for combating climate change, but also for creating jobs."@en1
