What are Germany’s goals for Copenhagen?
A whole host of measures to be taken by industrial and developing countries are necessary. These include the following: 1. A target for industrial and developing countries as a whole to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent by 2050. 2. A binding minimum target for the industrial nations as a whole to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions between 25 and 40 percent by 2020, which the intergovernmental climate council, the IPCC, views as necessary. 3. National action plans for the developing countries with effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. 4. Financial support for developing countries both in reducing emissions and in adapting to climate change. 5. A decision-making mechanism for the use of these funds in which both industrial and developing nations jointly participate. (Source: www.bmu.
