"Madam President, if the European Union is not a problem, this means that we need to start by maintaining our leading position in the battle against climate change. We can do this through extensive, effective environmental diplomacy so that we can achieve clear targets in Durban for reaching our goal. We need to inject new impetus into the European Union’s negotiations and do it in such a way as to encourage our partners to reduce gas emissions. We must also back the creation of the Green Fund so that we can support all the measures needed to mitigate the impact of climate change.
We need to remember, if we are speaking with a single voice in Durban, to introduce the principle of climate justice, because those hit hardest in the wake of climate change are the deprived population groups, those living in poverty and verging on the risk of poverty, especially women and children. We need to protect these groups.
In the interim, I am confident that we will speak with a single voice as the European Union and that we will call for smart development to create jobs and safeguard social security because this is the important role we have to play in Durban."@en1
