CLIMATE CHANGE: European Union make $150 billion deal
GO GREEN — By MainStreetMantra Desk on October 30, 2009 at 4:59 pm
A STEP IN RIGHT DIRECTION
EU leaders on Friday agreed that developing nations will need 100 billion euros per year by 2020 to tackle climate change, but failed to put a figure to Europe’s own contribution amid sharp east-west differences.
“We have an agreement,” said Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, at the end of a two-day European summit in Brussels. “The EU now has a strong negotiating position and the countdown to Copenhagen now has started,” he added, referring to international climate talks in Denmark in December.
France, Germany and Italy had been keen not to show Europe’s hand ahead of the Copenhagen talks. “We are going to link our promises to what other countries offer and similarly our financial engagements,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, whose country had hoped for more flesh on the bones of the agreement, agreed the deal shows that “the European Union and its member states are ready to contribute their fair share of the cost. “Of course it is conditional on other countries playing a part too,” he added.
Even the 100 billion euro (150 billion dollar) per year figure which developing nations will need by 2020 will be found through an unspecified combination of developing countries’ “own efforts, the international carbon market and international public finance”.
The 27-nation bloc prides itself on leading the fight against climate change, and has already agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2020.
It needs a strong, unified line to take to Copenhagen if it is to persuade the likes of China, the United States and India to make swingeing cuts themselves.
The EU also said it is willing to increase its own promised emissions cuts to 30 percent if the rest of the developed world does likewise at Copenhagen.

hello. nice read, Learnt pretty many new things from your artice on your blog.
Thanks for this information. My sister has been wondering about this topic for a while.
Yeah, they all wanted money, not life.But most likely there wouldn’t be an obesity problem.
Great post. I find this to be a really fascinating topic and you put a new spin on it for me. Thanks!
Food for thought. Many thanks for that, but let me also thank you for something else. I suffer from color blindness (protanopia in my case). I mainly use Chrome browser (unsure if that changes anything), and far too many internet sites are difficult to understand as a result of a problematic variety of colours used. On this site, as the selection of colours is good, the site is extremely clear and easy to understand. I don’t know whether this was a intentional and considerate deed, or simply the ‘luck of the draw’, but just the same, thanks.
it’s part of the British system that a new leader of the party takes over if the prime minister steps down for some reason (Jim Callahan took over when Harold Wilson resigned, John Major took over when Margaret Thatcher got pushed out). Many people say that it was a mistake for the Labor Party not to have a leadership election when Blair stepped down, but Brown and Blair had a deal, which everyone in the party and the country knew about. And the truth is, although Brown is not an inspiring leader, there are no obvious alternatives inside the party. There are lots of people who’d like the job, but none of them have strong support–except perhaps as apostles of Brown or Blair.
That is quite helpful. It provided me several ideas and I’ll be placing them on my web site shortly. I’m bookmarking your site and I’ll be back. Thanks again!
