THE BIG BLOGGER DIARIES Socialists are united against climate change!

The work is now done. The EP has concluded that tackling climate change and tackling the financial crisis is a common challenge facing the world. With this in mind, Socialists voted for afor a Green 'New Deal' to help tackle the financial crisis. It has set the long-term target of reducing CO2 emissions by at least 80% of 1990 figures by 2050. The target is ambitious, and achieving it will be tough. A Socialist 12 point plan has been adopted which will provide guidance to local, national and European authorities to ensure that Europe leads in the fight to stop climate change in its tracks. It will require involvement from all. Citizens should be encouraged to do their bit, as well as the industrial and agricultural sectors of society. It will require measures to increase investment in energy efficiency in buildings, public sector, transport, and different aspects of everyday life. In conclusion, acting on these recommendations in the next five years will also lead to new jobs and a cleaner less polluted world for all our children.
