Notes that modern technologies in agriculture and a broader land use sector can help these sectors contribute fairly to global climate change mitigation efforts; in this context, highlights the need to broaden the definition of ‘productive agriculture’ and to fully support and respect those farming lands which provide public goods in climate mitigation and carbon sequestration, including agro-ecological farming.

4. Stresses that climate diplomacy is an integral part of the comprehensive approach to the EU’s external action; recognises that climate change will affect countries with varying degrees of severity, with the least developed countries being most disproportionately affected owing to lack of resources for climate mitigation and adaptation; recognises that the transformations of the Arctic represents a major effect of climate change on EU security; calls for a policy of prevention in relation to climate change, as well as a debate on a forward-looking strategy at EU level to address the strategic and political consequences of climate-in ...[+++]duced geopolitical instability, allowing the EU to respond to resource-related conflicts stepping up cooperation with countries most afflicted by the impacts of climate change;

19. Recognises that building technological capacity requires effective financing mechanisms; stresses the need to provide financing for climate actions in developing countries and reiterates the Commission’s calls for concrete commitments that the poorest and most vulnerable countries will receive priority support under the Green Climate Fund (GCF); supports furthermore measures for the joint mobilisation of funding from a variety of sources – public and private, bilateral and multilateral; calls on the Commission to assess the possibility of setting aside a number of EU-ETS allowances for financial support to the least developed countries for the financing of climate mitigation ...[+++] and adaptation measures;

12. Emphasises, within the current operational structure of the Kyoto Protocol, the need for quantified emission limitation or reduction objectives (QELROs), which were due to be submitted by the Parties by May 2012, to be adopted as amendments to the Kyoto Protocol at the Doha Conference, in accordance with Decision 1/CMP.7; calls on those Annex B Parties which have not yet done so to submit their QELROs, and welcomes the initial EU submission in this regard; stresses that the carry-over of assigned amount units (AAUs) to the second commitment period would undermine the integrity of the Kyoto Protocol; points out that if Member States are allowed to transfer AAUs, the Kyoto Protocol will have no real effect on ...[+++]climate mitigation;

23. Notes with concern the increase in freight transport, and calls on the Commission to draw up an estimate of the CO2 emissions caused by freight transport and to make proposals to transfer a large proportion of road haulage traffic to more environmentally-friendly modes of transport; calls on the Commission, as part of its review of the European Climate Change Programme (ECCP), to bring forward proposals to establish a "Trans-European Fast Rail Freight Network" to resolve the fragmentation in the freight network and remove the remaining infrastructure bottlenecks; calls also for consideration to be given to mandatory CO2 emission targets for trucks; calls on the Commission to explore the benefits for ...[+++]climate mitigation of permitting all Member States to use Swedish/Finnish-length trucks and to report the findings as soon as possible;

45. Insists on the need for increased financial assistance for climate adaptation for the least-developed countries; considers in this context that the management of sustainable forestry, especially tropical forests, constitutes an important element in both climate mitigation and adaptation and therefore urges the Commission to give priority to this in its development cooperation activities;
