Given that the Community supports the equitable distribution of CDM projects, including through the Commission’s Global Climate Change Alliance as set out in the Commission Communication of 18 September 2007 entitled ‘Building a Global Climate Change Alliance between the European Union and poor developing countries most vulnerable to climate change’, it is appropriate to provide certainty on the acceptance of credits from projects started after the period from 2008 to 2012 in LDCs, for project types that were eligible for use in the Community scheme during the period from 2008 to 2012.

Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament of 18 September 2007 – Building a global climate change alliance between the European Union and poor developing countries most vulnerable to climate change [COM(2007) 540 final – Not published in the Official Journal].

EMPHASISES that successful action depends on integrating climate change policy into decision-making processes in key relevant areas, and LOOKS FORWARD to reporting to the European Council in December 2005 on the progress made; UNDERLINES that a global future climate change strategy should drive technology innovation, employing an optimal mix of "push" and "pull" policies; with this in mind, RECALLS the discussion held at the July 2005 informal meeting of EU Competitiveness Ministers in Cardiff, which noted that the Seventh Framework Programme on Research inter alia has an essential role to play in tackling environmental issues such as global climate change; and NOT ...[+++]ES the information presented at the September 2005 informal meeting of EU Environment and Agriculture Ministers in London, showing the impacts of climate change on agriculture and the opportunities for agriculture to contribute to reducing emissions.

2. WELCOMES the Commission's communication "Winning the battle against global climate change"; NOTES that there is increasing scientific evidence that the benefits of limiting overall global annual mean surface temperature increase to 2°C above pre-industrial levels outweigh the costs of abatement policies; UNDERLINES the importance of the immediate and effective implementation of agreed policies and measures, the need to foster increased public awareness, the need for better focused research and the promotion of stronger cooperation with third countries; EMPHASISES that the EU's future climate change strategy should strive at the wid ...[+++]est possible cooperation by all countries, include all important greenhouse gases, sectors and mitigation options, drive technological innovation, employing an optimal mix of "push" and "pull" policies, in particular in the transport and energy sector, promote the transfer of technologies to appropriate markets, provide for the continued use of market-based and flexible instruments, and support the adaptation to unavoidable climate change in all countries, particularly in the most vulnerable developing countries;
