"The European Union is at the forefront of the fight against climate change"

Deputy Director of Emissions Trading and Flexible Mechanisms of MARM, Ismael Aznar, has admitted during the course of Journalism and Climate Change Environmental EFEverde that "the difficulty of achieving ambitious goals for reducing emissions in the next climate summit Durban. "However, Aznar has opted for" a greater effort by the European Union, which should translate into increase unilaterally the European commitment to reduce emissions by 2020 to 30% above the current target 20%.

Spain's position is to subject this increase in the objectives European commitment to other countries, "which should be reflected in legally binding rules as the Kyoto Protocol", pointed Aznar. The European Union calls on developed countries "quantified and binding numerical targets, of between 25 and 40% reduction in emissions by 2020. As developing countries, "should deviate from its growth forecast for 2020 emissions by up to 30%," said Aznar. For the developing countries are asked to take "appropriate and targeted measures to mitigate climate change, but that does not mean that they will require to limit their emissions. Union European technological and financial support provided to developing countries for mitigation and adaptation to climate change, "provided it is clear what the money will be used," he pointed Aznar.

According Aznar, "against the inaction of other developed powers, like the USA and China, Europe must make a more constructive stance and ambitious." In this sense, to reach an agreement for the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012, would be "positive" for international negotiations. Still, Aznar argued that "we need more ambitious than the Kyoto targets and to commit developing countries to take part in the effort. "Looking at Durban, the bulk of trading will be to implement the agreements made in Cancun, a more ambitious mitigation and greater formality in commitments to combat climate change.


Although n or will be an agreement "FAB (FAB Binding) Climate Summit in Durban as requested by Environmentalists, Aznar wanted to launch an optimistic message: "We expect to achieve agreed targets for reducing emissions to start to work." In that sense it has claimed Cancun Agreements such as REDD (the mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation), or Green Climate Fund to help developing countries adapt to and mitigate climate change. The deputy director of Emissions Trading MARM has defined what was achieved in Cancun as "amazing."
