"Let us say it from the outset: with a few days to go until the Doha Conference, the commitments made by the international community to limit global warming to a maximum of 2° C are a long way from being met. The United Nations and the European Union are sounding the alarm: we must act quickly and decisively! Today, like 484 other Members of the European Parliament, I supported a resolution that reminds us that this target is vital for the continued survival of our planet’s inhabitants and ecosystems. The resolution stresses that, in order to be credible, industrialised countries must not only honour their commitments if they wish to help the poorest countries, but also set the bar higher if they want to reduce their carbon footprint by 2020. The hopes of tomorrow rest on a combination of ambitious measures on clean technologies and energy-efficient buildings and transport, and the promotion of green jobs. The European Parliament also underlines the need to create strategic alliances with the key industrialised countries in order to renew the Kyoto Protocol, which expires very shortly, with a view to concluding a new international treaty with quantified targets for 2020."@en1
