EWEA - World needs global climate leadership from EU and to continue UN talks

The only thing the Copenhagen Accord achieved was a commitment-free text "to hold the increase in global temperature below 2°C."

The EU should continue leading by example despite the failure of the UN climate talks, the wind industry says. Christian Kjaer, Chief Executive of EWEA, said: "The world needs global climate leadership from the EU in 2010 more than ever, now that the other super-powers have shown their lack of ambition."

The Copenhagen Accord is the lowest common denominator which China and the United States could agree. The text did not produce a legally binding treaty or deliver a plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The only thing it achieved was a commitment-free text "to hold the increase in global temperature below 2°C."

The rest of the world, including the EU which had offered to cut carbon by 30% compared to 1990 levels if there was strong global deal, could only take it or leave it. China and the US established a new world order in Copenhagen.
