"Scientific evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates the existence of climate change, and therefore action is necessary to effectively meet this major challenge of the 21st century. There is a need for wider and more effective EU diplomacy by all EU institutions in advance of Durban, which should seek to present a clearer EU profile on climate policy, bringing a new dynamic to the international climate negotiations and encouraging partners throughout the world also to introduce binding reductions in carbon emissions and appropriate climate change and adjustment measures. In my view, it would be beneficial for the EU to play a leading role by implementing an ambitious climate policy which would encourage other countries to follow its example.
Members of civil society, including representatives of gender equality organisations should be given opportunities for active participation in the work of the Green Climate Fund board and all of its sub-boards. Adaptation efforts should systematically and effectively address gender-specific impacts of climate change in the areas of energy, water, food security, agriculture and fisheries, biodiversity and ecosystem services, health, industry, human settlements, disaster management and conflict and security."@en1
