Translation of "atmospheric co2 concentration " (English → French) :

6. Notes that climate change, through the rapid reduction in the size of coral reefs and the numbers of calciferous animals, the changes in species’ reproductive cycles and sex ratios, and the acidification of the ocean which it brings about, will further endanger fish stocks and reduce the oceans’ CO2 absorption capacity, in turn further increasing the rate of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and speeding up climate change;

3. Regards the science of climate change as sufficiently settled and reiterates its commitment to the EU's strategic objective of limiting the global average temperature increase to not more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, which, according to several scientific reports, can be attained with approximately 50% probability at an atmospheric GHG concentration of 400-450 ppm CO2 equivalent and which, according to IPCC AR4, will require industrialised countries to reduce their GHG emissions by 25%-40% below 1990 levels by 2020; believes, notwithstanding this, that all efforts to curb emissions should in fact aim at staying well below th ...[+++]e 2°C target, as such a level of warming would already heavily impact on our society and individual lifestyles and would also entail significant changes in ecosystems and water resources;

Forests also store significant amounts of CO2, thus preventing further increases in concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

For example, the Kyoto objective to reduce CO2 emissions by 8% by 2008-2012, when compared with the 1990 level, has to be related to the long-term objective to stabilise CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, which may require a reduction of more than 50%.
