"The recent natural disasters which have occurred in a number of places, including Hurricane Sandy in the United States, emphasise the growing need to consider measures to mitigate climate change. This report by Indrek Tarand concerns the role of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) in case of climate-driven crises and natural disasters. We may be tempted to think that climate change does not affect us because we live far from the coast and rising sea levels will not reach us, or because we are not building along watercourses or on unstable soil, for example. This position is not only selfish, but also wrong. The consequences of climate change affect everyone, whether directly or indirectly. It is therefore essential to improve preventive action and climate security, particularly in the most vulnerable areas. We cannot forget that climate change has a direct impact on security and economy, as it can cause people to migrate to other parts of the globe. Lastly, I would highlight the need for international cooperation, particularly with the US and emerging countries responsible for high levels of greenhouse gas emissions."@en1
