EU insists on incorporating China's emissions reduction actions into international agreements

The EU hopes that, in keeping with the obligations of the developed countries of the Kyoto Protocol, major developing countries will also need to join internationally binding, measurable, verifiable and verifiable reductions in emissions from Copenhagen. "China should certainly incorporate its domestic emission reduction activities into international treaties," he said. "Andreas Carlgren, head of the European Union delegation, Swedish Environment Minister Karglin of the rotating EU presidency, said on December 12. It was a Saturday, and the ongoing UN climate change summit in Copenhagen did not slacken as the weekend came.　　On the contrary, the intensity of the meeting was not much different from the previous days.

China says climate aid in developed countries is not a charity issue: At the Copenhagen conference, the EU once again targets the two world's biggest emitters. "For the United States, they need to do more, includes plans to provide long-term funding for emissions reduction and adaptation activities in developing countries, as well as action to reduce deforestation, while in China there is also a need for more ambitious action to better implement national plans to reduce emissions, and to adopt more energy-efficient and renewable technologies.　　"Karglin said. In addition, Karglin has repeatedly stressed that the Kyoto Protocol, aimed at achieving mandatory emissions reductions in developed countries, is not enough to deal with the current climate problem, and that the new agreement should include more countries, "we need a broad agreement to achieve global temperatures less than 2 degrees Celsius before the industrial revolution."　　"The EU hopes that, under the conditions of preserving the responsibilities of the developed countries of the Kyoto Protocol, major developing countries will also need to join internationally binding, measurable, verifiable and verifiable agreements on emissions reduction." In an effort to pressure the US, the EU has maintained its conservative stance of reducing emissions by 20% per cent by 2020, rather than announcing its goal of unilaterally reducing emissions by 30%, and leaving it on the last day of the conference.
