One year ago at Bali the EU was the proactive part of the UNFCCC negotiations. Promoting cuts between 25 - 40 % in 2020. Those were the days! Now EU seems to take five steps backwards. 20% and no trigger to 30% in case of a global treaty. And free emission rights, no funds for developing countries from emission trade! CDM projects instead of doing domestic actions! And some try to say that this is a step forward! 2009 seems to be a heavy year for those who wants to see a fair and necesary treaty signed in Copenhagen.
Now lets use the Uppsala Manifesto and put it on the EU goverments tables as well as on the table in the White House. Time to change!
