"I voted in favour of this resolution. Climate change is one of the major challenges of the 21st century which can only be addressed through international action. An international agreement has yet to be reached, and a legally binding international agreement consistent with the principle of a common but differentiated responsibility must therefore be concluded as a matter of urgency, recognising the leading role to be played by developed countries and the appropriate contribution to be made by developing countries. The existing commitments and pledges made under the Copenhagen Accord and formalised within the Cancún Agreements are insufficient to meet the objective of limiting the overall global annual mean surface temperature increase to 2ºC (the 2ºC objective). European countries face critical choices to preserve their future prosperity and security and honour the commitments they have made in the area of CO
reduction. I support the call for Heads of State or Government worldwide to demonstrate real political leadership and will during the negotiations and for a comprehensive, international, fair, ambitious and legally binding agreement to be concluded, in line with the 2ºC objective and the peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible."@en1
