Talking points for EU calls
- The Copenhagen talks risk collapsing already. European leaders must do all you can to rescue a real deal. Become active dealmakers. Rebuild trust with poorer countries by offering fairer and more ambitious proposals.
- Offer real money for climate finance this week. Say specifically how much the EU will contribute by 2020. Identify new funding sources like aviation and shipping revenues. Increase the global figure to a more credible €135bn -- on top of aid promises already made.
- Strengthen Europe’s emission targets, making real cuts of 30%-40%, and stop relying on loopholes, offsets and accounting tricks. To be fit for the future, Europe needs transformative investment in low-carbon recovery. Otherwise we will fall behind.
