As you may know we have made a separate pledge
bank for this campaign. You are welcome to make your
pledge to prevent C02 emissions and make a difference
at personal level.
We have received pledges from many countries. As we
challenged the European Commission to take part, here is
a pledge from M.P. Carl, Director-General for Environment:
My pledge: "Europe is determined to tackle climate change
and has the ability to lead the world's efforts by example. With a real sense
of common responsibility and political will we can make this change happen. Decisive
action is needed over the next 10 to 15 years: we must accelerate the change to a low
carbon economy, reverse the continuing increase in global greenhouse gas emissions and
increase our energy security and our energy efficiency. Climate change is therefore
among the top priorities for me personally and for my Commission, and I pledge to work
to ensure that this is reflected in the agenda of the European Union as a whole.
Together we can make a difference."
M.P. Carl, Director-General for Environment
On behalf of José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission
and Stavros Dimas, Commissioner for Environment
