"Madam President, having attended my fifth UN climate change COP and MOP, I returned from Bali with a sense of achievement for the first time on this most important of global issues.
One of the clearest messages from Bali was the urgent need to find a mechanism to ensure avoided deforestation and degradation of our forests is part of any post-2012 international agreement.
I would like us to be in a position to add another 20% to the ‘20/20/20 by 2020’ formula. If we had an agreed system of credits to reward or compensate native communities, thereby mitigating the present rate of deforestation, particularly of our tropical forests – notwithstanding the immense difficulty in mapping a baseline figure for existing forestation – we could reduce global carbon emissions by another 20%, so that ‘20/20/20/20 by 2020’ must be our goal.
Bali produced the roadmap for global agreement by COP15 in 2009 in Copenhagen, very ably led by you for the EU, and I would like to congratulate you, Commissioner, on your personal contribution."@en1
