"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this debate has already made reference to the recent warning by the International Energy Agency (IEA) that the window of opportunity to keep climate change below two degrees will close in a few years’ time. When such a conservative establishment as the IEA gives so serious a warning, it really needs to be taken seriously.
All countries need to step up their measures to combat climate change and immediately end subsidies for fossil fuels, which, according to the IEA, are six times greater than those for renewable energy. One key issue in climate talks is the financing of measures to combat climate change in developing countries. The EU should not approach the subject merely as a pawn in the negotiations. It is in our own interests that the measures to cut emissions, for which this funding is needed, actually exist, which is to say, both those that the developing countries themselves take to cut emissions and also their adaptation measures.
The EU should increase its international climate funds to EUR 30 billion by the end of the decade. The EU should also do all it can to reach an agreement on innovative financing methods. That is also in the interests of the developing countries, because a financial transaction tax and an air and shipping tax are much more reliable sources of funding."@en1
