Post-2012 Climate Change Framework
EDM number 280 in 2007-08, proposed by Colin Challen on 15/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Climate change and International development.
That this House agrees with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the impacts of climate change are already being felt and fall most heavily on the poor in some of the poorest countries in the world and that these same people are least able to cope with the impacts of climate change and have contributed least to the problem; believes that the forthcoming United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting in Bali represents a vital opportunity to take action to prevent global catastrophic climate change; and calls on the Government to lead the way in creating additional and sufficient funding to allow developing countries to adapt appropriately to the consequences of climate change, to ensure that the impact on developing countries is central to discussions and to ensure that a framework timetable for negotiations is drawn up that will conclude by 2009 to ensure continuity when the first Kyoto commitment period finishes in 2012.
This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs.
