"Mr President, once again the World Climate Summit ended with a compromise. However, we urgently need to ask ourselves the question of how long our planet can withstand half-hearted compromises of this kind, against the background of the rapidly growing population and the increasing damage to the environment.
I was pleased about the decision to negotiate a world climate agreement within the next three years with the aim of reducing emissions of harmful greenhouse gases, which will include for the first time the major emerging economies, such as China, India, Brazil and South Africa. The second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol from 2013 onwards was another step in the right direction. It is also important to mention the Green Climate Fund, which will have funding of USD 100 billion up to 2020. However, leading scientists are predicting global warming of at least 3.5 degrees, with consequences that we are well aware of.
I see Durban as a reminder to us that we must achieve our 2020 target of reducing greenhouse gases."@en1
