Traduction de «Effet climatique global » (Français → Anglais) :

establishment of a global system and tools for crop forecasting and monitoring of crop productivity; support to improve short- to mid-term outlooks of agricultural commodities, including the predicted effects of climate change.

WELCOMES the approval of the governing instrument for the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the way forward outlined in the Durban Decisions with regard to the expeditious full operationalization of the GCF; REITERATES that the Fund is to make a significant and ambitious contribution to the global efforts towards attaining the goals set by the international community to combat climate change; REITERATES FURTHER that the Fund will promote the paradigm shift towards low – emission and climate – resilient development paths by providing supp ...[+++]ort to developing countries to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change in developing countries particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of Climate Change; WELCOMES that the Fund will catalyse climate finance, both public and private, and at the international and national level; ENCOURAGES the Board to develop methods to enhance complementarity between the GCF and other relevant bilateral, regional and global funding mechanisms and institutions, to better mobilize the full range of financial and technical capacities and improve the overall effectiveness of international climate finance;

2. ACKNOWLEDGES that climate change is one of mankind's greatest challenges, which is likely to have significant negative global environmental, economic and social implications and is expected to impinge negatively on sustainable development and the livelihoods of millions of people all over the world; REAFFIRMS that, with a view to meeting the ultimate objective of the Convention to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system, overall global annual mean surface temperature increase should not exceed 2ºC abov ...[+++]e pre-industrial levels; STRESSES that the Kyoto Protocol is an important first step in the global fight against climate change; EMPHASISES the findings of the IPCC TAR that significant further steps will be necessary to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and limit adverse effects of climate change.

Currently, the Community's role in assessing Member State compliance with their obligations under the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol is based on the Monitoring Decision [39], which provides for the emissions of greenhouse gases in Member States to be monitored at Community level on the basis of aggregate data per Member State.

The AOSIS protocol proposal and the German delegation's suggestions will as well as others form part of the negotiations (c) Report of the ad hoc group to the second Conference of the Parties on the state of negotiations on the protocol; completion of the negotiations six months before the third Conference of the Parties in order to allow adoption during that Conference (d) Inclusion in the ad hoc group's working programme, in cooperation with the other subsidiary bodies, of an analysis or assessment to identify potential and possible policies and measures for achieving limitations and progressive reductions of greenhouse gas emissions (e) Consideration of the following key elements for inclusion in the protocol: (i) comprehensiveness of t ...[+++]he protocol, covering all greenhouse gases, their sources and sinks and all relevant sectors; (ii) common but differentiated responsibilities of Parties in line with their respective capabilities and possibilities: - lead responsibility of Annex I Parties through specific commitments, individually or jointly, strengthening and enlarging those undertaken in Article 4(2)(a) and (b) of the Convention, - participation, over time, of non-Annex I Parties as recognized in Article 4(2)(f) and (g); establishment of a framework leading to sustainable patterns of economic development that will secure steadily increasing economic growth while restraining the growth of greenhouse gas emissions; (iii) combined approach including both policies and measures as well as targets and timetables such as 2005 and 2010, taking into account the differences in starting points and approaches, economic structures and resource bases as set out in Article 4(2)(a); (iv) coordinated policies and measures covering CO2 and other greenhouse gases, in particular in those areas where international coordination is called for in view of competitiveness concerns, priority being given to: - measures subject to competitiveness concerns; - measures concerning globall ...

Those Member States are thereby making a practical contribution to burden-sharing in the context of the Community's collective fulfilment of its climate objective; - it is clear from those Member States' programmes that these practical contributions to implementation of the burden-sharing principle are based on the assumption that a combined CO2-energy tax will be introduced at Community level; - the Council welcomes the US administration's proposals for new energy taxes as an essential contribution to the worldwide measures against climate change - and as an initiative which, together with other OECD countries' tax level in the energy ...[+++] field, contributes substantially to the Community's demand that the effects on competition of corresponding tax initiatives in the Community be reduced; - against this background the Presidency will initiate a dialogue with the USA on joint global initiatives within the framework of the UN Climate Convention and relevant international fora like the OECD to further prevent climate change; - at the forthcoming joint Council of Environment and Energy Ministers the Presidency will look at all possibilities for reducing CO2 emissions, such as greater energy efficiency, the promotion of alternative forms of energy and the use of fiscal incentives; - that the Presidency will do its utmost in ECOFIN to secure a solution to the outstanding problems concerning a possible combined CO2/energy tax at Community level".
