"I voted in favour of this report because in order to combat one of the greatest problems the world faces today – climate change – we must change the way we consume and produce energy. It is scientifically proven that anthropogenic factors – environmental factors formed or heavily influenced by human activity – encourage climate change. We must take urgent action to limit the overall global mean surface temperature increase, which may reach up to 2ºC, reduce the depletion of the ozone layer, slow glacial melting and begin to develop a low-carbon strategy. Several fast-action strategies have been developed on how to reduce emissions of black carbon and gases and end the production and use of harmful chemical compounds within five to ten years. The European Union has also begun to apply a regulation under which there will be stringent and regular vehicle emissions tests. However, the damage done may be irreparable, and action must therefore be taken at European and international level as a matter of urgency."@en1
