"I voted for the report ‘Building a Global Climate Change Alliance between the European Union and poor developing countries’ as these countries are the most vulnerable to climate change.
The 2007 review of the EU Action Plan on Climate Change and Development mentioned above shows that the progress on mainstreaming climate change into the European Union’s development policies has been insufficient and far too slow.
Even though the EU has set itself the target of becoming a leader in the fight against climate change, the EU budget does not reflect the priority given to these policies. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has so far been poorly suited to meeting the needs of the poorest countries in terms of investments in clean technology.
The report calls on the EU to place climate change at the core of its development cooperation policy and invites the Commission to provide detailed information on existing financial mechanisms for climate change and development at national and international levels. The Commission should urgently propose the measures required to scale up EU financial support for climate change and development, ensuring the best possible coordination and complementarity with existing initiatives."@en1
