From 26 November - 7 December 2012, the 18th Conference of the Parties
(COP 18) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will
be held in Doha, Qatar. The Environment Committee has prepared a draft motion for a resolution, which will be voted in this morning.
As with the climate talks in general, and due to persistent opposition
from Poland against more ambitious attempts to curb atmospheric
pollution, the EU hasn't been able to move forward with its position in

of the EU and its partnership with the developing countries but also
the overall UN efforts to tackle climate change in general as it could
seriously endanger the second commitment period of the Kyoto protocol, whose first phase expires at the end of this year.
