EU agrees final stance for Copenhagen climate talks
European Union leaders agreed an offer Friday at the end of two-day EU summit to put on the table at global climate talks in Copenhagen in December after healing a rift over how to split the bill.
発展途上国は気候変動問題への取り組みとして2020年まで年間1000億ユーロ(1480億ドル)必要とし、うち220―500億ユーロを先進国政府が拠出すべきとした。
Developing countries will need 100 billion euros ($148 billion) a year by 2020 to battle climate change, and 22-50 billion of this will have to come from the public purse in rich countries worldwide, rather than industry, leaders said.
ブラウン英首相は「(今回の確認は)われわれをコペンハーゲンに導く突破口だ」と述べた。
"I think this is a breakthrough that takes us forward to Copenhagen," British Prime Minister Gordon Brown told reporters.
スウェーデンのラインフェルト首相は「環境問題への取り組みに向け、資金面で合意に達することができた。コペンハーゲンに向けてEUは確固たる位置にある」と話した。
"We managed to reach an agreement on climate finance," Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said. "The EU now has a strong position in view of Copenhagen."
EU加盟27カ国は、他国が同様の目標を設定した場合、温室効果ガスを2020年までに1990年比30%削減する方向で計画を強化することを確約した。ただ、新たな温暖化対策が施行される前の3年間で発展途上国に資金拠出する当初の案は保留となった。
The 27-country EU pledged to strengthen planned emissions cuts to 30 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 if other countries made similar commitments. But they put on hold earlier plans to come up with "fast start" financing for developing nations in the three years before any new climate deal takes effect.
