lpv:translated text	". Mr President, there is broad consensus on the need to strengthen international environmental management. Climate change is the biggest of the global environmental problems, but unfortunately not the only one. The decline in the number of species in the world is already threatening the viability of our society. For this reason, we need real results from the forthcoming UN Conference of Parties regarding biological diversity in the EU. The Convention on Biological Diversity is the most widely adopted existing international agreement on the conservation of biological diversity. It has 188 signatories, including all 25 Member States of the European Union. In order to ensure that the Convention has the widest possible impact, it is essential that it should be implemented effectively in the various policy areas, and that it is compatible with other international agreements on the environment and that they can all be coordinated together. The biggest problem for effective implementation, however, is the insufficient number of indicators describing biological diversity. We do not know what is happening in our environment or how we might best respond to this challenge. The Commission needs to work hard to produce these indicators. The European Union must be the one to point the way in strengthening the global dimension of sustainable development. We should be prepared to agree on targets which are binding on all of us, in order that we might be able to stop the impoverishment of nature and safeguard its riches; not just for us, but for our children as well."@en1
