lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, climate change is, in fact, an extremely important issue and a real issue. There are still some who wish to deny it, but we cannot allow ourselves to conceal the seriousness of the issue. Climate change derives from a two-fold shortage: the physical scarcity of energy resources and the inability of the ecosystem to absorb the flow of waste. It must be pointed out, in actual fact, that, as extreme events become worse, climate change creates considerable threats for the region, which must be tackled immediately. In the present context, greater security provisions are required: the Kyoto Protocol is only the first answer; we must move forward and provide a systematic solution. It is not only the issue of energy production that is at stake, but also the consumption habits of our society. What scares me most are the statements emerging from the United States, according to which their standard of living cannot be called into question. On the contrary, such a reappraisal is the very first thing that we must make possible in Europe. Taking the knowledge-based society seriously additionally means changing our way of life in an ever more radical way, and ensuring that our development is sustainable. We must seek to progress in the work of involving other countries, persuading them that we are indeed faced with the duty of transforming our society. We must emerge from the age of fossil fuels, and the Kyoto Protocol is only the first step; we must go beyond this and work in earnest, because we must radically alter the ways of our society."@en1
