"The Copenhagen conference was a failure. However, this agreement incarnates a first step which brings most of the parties together and provides a basis for commitments to reducing, financing, measuring, notifying and verifying actions to mitigate climate change and combating deforestation. In supporting the resolution, I expressed my wish for ‘climate diplomacy’ to be established at international level, with the primary objective of protecting Creation. Parliament has also announced that the collective contribution by the Union towards efforts to reduce climate change and to help developing countries adapt should be no less than EUR 30 000 million per annum between now and 2020, knowing that this figure may increase as new knowledge comes to light on the seriousness of climate change and the costs involved. Apart from any environmental romanticism, we must not forget European industry. That is why I consider it essential to the competitiveness of European industry for similar efforts to be made by other industrialised nations outside the EU and for developing countries and emerging economies to commit to reasonable reductions. Reduction targets must be measurable, significant and verifiable for everyone if there is to be climate justice."@en1
