"I voted in favour of this report because the joint resolution recognises that climate change represents an urgent and potentially irreversible threat to humanity and thus has to be addressed at international level by all of the parties. Recent scientific findings suggest that the effects of climate change are more rapid and more pronounced than previously predicted, for instance in the Arctic region, and investments in the energy sector very often have a lifetime of 30 years or more and the planning of new projects and policies takes a long time, a situation which accentuates the worldwide urgency to take new steps in the field of energy. The EU should take a leading role in combating climate change and achieve a legally uniting and binding agreement on equity in long-term global mitigation efforts. It is important to note that after 2012, the last year of fast-start finance (USD 30 billion over three years committed in Copenhagen), there is no certainty as to how much climate finance will be delivered. It is worth stressing that the current economic crisis must not be used as a pretext for inaction or for refusing funding for adaptation measures in developing countries."@en1
