Economic Strife Will Not Disrupt Climate Agenda, Says Bursík

摘要

Despite present political and economic difficulties in the Czech Republic, the Presidency will try to lead on climate change, said EU Environment Council President and Czech environment minister Martin Bursik at an informal Environment Council in Prague this week. Future Copenhagen climate change agreement negotiations as well as financing climate change mitigation and adaptation were the main issues on the table during the second day of the informal meeting of EU environment ministers on 15 April. "It is absolutely vital to reach an agreement in Copenhagen to protect our climate and economic welfare," said Bursik.
