The European Commission has launched a public consultation on Europe's approach to a global climate change agreement post-2012 when the Kyoto Protocol targets for reducing greenhouse gases come to an end.
Stakeholders and the public are invited to put forward their views on a number of key issues, including mid-term emission reduction targets for developed countries and reduction actions for developing countries, adaptation to climate change, technology cooperation and finance.
Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said: "It was agreed in Bali last year that a new global climate change agreement should be adopted by the end of 2009. The ambitious agreement that needs to be reached in Copenhagen must bring together the world's nations to tackle this global challenge effectively. It is important that our contribution to this discussion is shaped by the knowledge and expertise of the different EU stakeholders."
The consultation runs until 29 September 2008. Those interest in participating can fill in the online questionnaire available via the adjacent link.
