4. REAFFIRMS the importance for the EU, together with other developed countries, to continue to contribute to climate finance after 2012 as set forth in the Durban decision to support initiatives that will deliver substantial results and value for money in the context of meaningful mitigation actions, and in helping increasing climate resilience and to narrow the ambition gap between current pledges and emission reductions with special attention to avoiding duplication of initiatives, the efficient use of available funding and the need for sustainable public finance and fiscal consolidation; ENCOURAGES domestic efforts by developing cou ...[+++]ntries, including the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies and other distortions as well as in providing good framework conditions for investments, as recipient action is crucial in ensuring ownership of supported action and the right identification of national priorities; RECOGNISES that substantial cost effective mitigation potential already exists in developing countries and UNDERLINES that increased information about efficient and cost effective available and meaningful National Appropriate Mitigation Action-proposals could further facilitate decision making and targeting of climate finance in terms of smart use of resources; RECALLS the collective nature of the financial commitments made and URGES a broader range of Parties to also significantly contribute and mobilise climate finance for that purpose reflecting evolving economic realities;

3.

It's to look forward, to take mitigating action, to think ahead and not have to have these incidents caused by whatever they are caused by, and to allow the people who work every day on the front line to take the necessary actions they can right now and solve the problems, rather than having to start a process today that takes weeks or months on end.
