"The threat to humanity represented by climate change is not diminishing, and a warming of the planet by 2°C will have an even more serious impact than was originally forecast. Even though extreme weather events cannot be clearly ascribed to global warming, it is highly likely that climate change is increasing the occurrence and intensity of these events. The fact that the international community failed in Copenhagen to reach a comprehensive binding international climate agreement, however, does not mean that countries are not adopting any measures, because European countries are facing key decisions aimed at preserving their future prosperity and security. The transition to the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, which is in line with EU climate objectives, can be combined with a healthier economy, growth in green jobs and innovation. In the absence of efforts to significantly reduce maximum emission values, the stimulation of investment into environmental technologies and innovation would threaten to make the EU emissions trading scheme unnecessary. It is therefore essential to make the necessary effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This will bring great benefits for European citizens through better air quality in Europe and the stimulation of investment in the EU economy."@en1
