"The planet’s climate change is a constant threat, causing irreversible changes, as recognised by the Durban Platform. The EU delegation plays a vital role in the international climate change negotiations and we have been entrusted with developing new international agreements on environmental protection. The Doha Conference must produce clear plans on how to combat climate change by 2020, in other words, reducing global emissions by at least 50 %. The situation is dire; recent studies show that climate change is accelerating in the Arctic region and will affect people in poorer countries the most. I believe that the gradual elimination of fossil fuel subsidies and redirecting of funds towards climate change programmes and R&D investment is an international priority. I recommend that levies on international financial transactions and international maritime and air transport be used for this purpose. I agree with my colleagues that, in order to combat this phenomenon, we need to coordinate Europe’s decision-making powers. The EU must speak with one voice and, alongside the rest of the world, condemn any lack of action and cooperation blamed on the economic crisis."@en1
