"I welcome the adoption of this resolution, which appeals to the Council and the Commission to obtain, among other things, a specific, quantifiable commitment from third countries that they will reduce emissions and combat deforestation, overfishing and all environmentally harmful human activity. Although the EU has decided to set an example with the energy and climate package, it must not be the only one to combat global warming. Emerging countries must contribute to a global effort if they do not want to ruin our work. The credibility of the EU’s leadership in this race against the climate change clock therefore depends upon the Member States reaching an ambitious common position. Every day, we see proof of the increasingly obvious and urgent need for action. If we want to maintain our quality of life, we can no longer delay our efforts to adopt environmentally friendly lifestyles and production methods. Our Parliament’s appeal is along these lines, and I will be paying close attention to the preparatory acts and the conclusions of this summit. The Earth is our common home and the legacy we will leave our children. They will not forgive us if we fail."@en1
