"I voted in favour of the report on women and climate change because the inclusion of gender issues provides an opportunity to make the fight against climate change stronger, fairer and more effective. I emphasise the need to see concrete action to include more women at all levels of decision making. I support the introduction of the 40% mandatory quota for female representation in the delegations for climate change negotiations. We call on the Commission and the Member States to propose climate change mitigation programmes that take account of gender inequalities as well, in order to improve the welfare of women, especially as regards access to information and services, natural resources and sustainable energy. We call on the Commission and the Member States to support the development of renewable energy sources in developing countries, through transfers of technology and knowledge which involve the balanced participation of women, with a view to contributing simultaneously to both equal opportunities and climate change mitigation. Women should be encouraged to pursue training and careers in the technical and scientific sector, and in the environmental and energy sectors, since this can guarantee women secure jobs and a stable future and will increase their involvement in defining climate change policies."@en1
