Sarkozy seeks European Climate Change deal

admin — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 11:11:11 +0000

France’s Nicolas Sarkozy, the EU’s current chairman, is to meet Eastern member states in Poland to try to agree on an ambitious climate change package.

The EU plan would cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by the year 2020, following the private steps made by the UK.

The French president’s meeting with the leaders of nine East European countries in Gdansk takes place at the same time as UN-led climate negotiations in the Polish city of Poznan.

A new global climate pact is to be signed in Copenhagen in a year’s time, succeeding the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which runs out in 2012.

The EU has told the world that if a global deal is done, then they will cut emissions by 30%.

Lets hope the world can come to an agreement and protect the planet from the dangers of climate change.
