"Madam President, advantage must be taken of this summit in order for the European Union and China to agree on joint positions for the Cancún climate change conference. It is important to learn lessons from the events of Copenhagen. It is incomprehensible that the United States has negotiated a minimalist agreement with China, India, Brazil and South Africa, and that the European Union’s ambitious proposal has been ignored.
Europe must take the lead again in the fight against climate change and positively influence its strategic partners. China is essential to this fight, not just because it is the world’s most populous country and has a flourishing economy, but also because it is already the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases and consumer of coal.
By 2020, China is proposing to reduce CO
emissions, while increasing renewable energy use and its forested area. That is a start, but it is not enough. We have to be more ambitious if we want to save our planet."@en1
