"Mr President, following yet another conference on climate change, I think that, being honest with ourselves, the most that we can manage to say is that it was better than the Copenhagen conference because some results were achieved and some progress was made. It was better because a compromise was reached, once again under the umbrella of the United Nations. It was better because the European Union came out of the Cancún conference better off and it was a much more transparent process than the previous one. However, this alone cannot be seen as a consolation and we must recognise that it is still very little.
There is a basis for continued work, but we must also recognise that this basis, while positive, remains founded on promises. Governments need to go a great deal further to meet the public’s needs and to meet the needs of a real crisis with real victims. I am pleased that we will be discussing this in greater depth here tomorrow. Commemorating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights will serve little purpose if we continue to neglect those rights. We should already know that the market does not solve everything and that it is time to put people first."@en1
