". – Now that the Summit is over, the vital work of ensuring sustainable development has to continue. Johannesburg did not achieve everything, but there has been genuine progress nonetheless. I believe that the Summit will make a significant difference in key areas such as water and energy.
The only way to deal with these issues is through common action at a global level. In the EU, we know how much more we can achieve by pooling our resources and setting common standards and by tackling together environmental problems which have cross-border implications.
We can be proud that the EU played a crucial role in Johannesburg, presenting a very ambitious sustainable development agenda. Without the EU's efforts, I do not think the Summit would have made as much progress.
The Summit was unable to achieve a satisfactory outcome on a target for increasing the share of renewable energy in global energy production. This is essential if we are all to meet our commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. Even if some countries in the developed world are not pulling their weight on this score, I believe that the EU and other like-minded countries should, nevertheless, work for more ambitious action in this area."@en1
