"Mr President, Minister, Commissioner, as a great Indian leader once said, the earth does not belong to us, we borrowed it from our children.
If we lose the battle against climate change, what kind of earth are we going to leave our children? The diagnosis has been made. All that is missing is the courage to put into practice more ambitious and effective policies. Mr Wijkman’s report is a step in the right direction. Actions speak louder than words and, in accordance with the Lisbon Strategy, new technology must be adopted, and the international community must strive to honour the obligations of the Kyoto Convention.
The United States must assume its responsibilities. I welcome EU dialogue with China and India, but it is also necessary to involve countries such as Brazil, South Africa, Russia, Japan and Indonesia and to remove contradictions such as fossil fuel subsidies. Mr Dimas said that the Montreal Conference will not produce all of the solutions we are looking for. Some solutions, however, are expected to come out of it. Our children and future generations expect nothing less."@en1
