In the world, both public opinion that the international political agenda reflect the need to face a challenge that threatens the future of many species, including ours. The European Union has adopted the ambitious objective of reducing gas emissions by 20 by 2020, the new US administration is prepared to commit, China has also identified the means for the benefit of a policy to combat climate change through economic incentives for an amount of $ 585 billion. It is therefore hoped that a new constructive version of the Kyoto Protocol to obtain international support at the Copenhagen Summit in December. It is a very good thing - but this intense focus on climate change as well as the hype to the approach of the Summit are likely to divert the attention of other important issues - such as the Elimination of the factors of poverty and inequality in society.
But some initiatives aimed at reducing the impact of climate change on the ecosystem can lead to a marginalization of the poorest members of our society. Electronic goods and cars with low energy consumption are certainly of inexpensive use, but their initial purchase price is high. The possibility of tax cuts to energy-efficient household as the punitive taxes levied from consumers more energy may increase the gap between the rich and the poor in Europe. If one adds to this the additional costs linked to the use of inefficient, low energy efficient electrical equipment, the financial weight of the green revolution on the poor in Europe could be seen as prohibitive. It cannot be ainsi. The only way to win the fight against climate change is to produce a strategy that works - a strategy which overcomes the test of time, equitable for all members of society. To do so, many important aspects of our current economic and societal must be taken into consideration. Generally, the technical aspects of the green economy are overestimated, while the social aspects are not sufficient attention.
As political decision-makers, we must ensure not to marginalize communities disadvantaged in Europe in combating climate change. The subsidies and tax incentives could all be potentially used as tools of social integration. Let us make sure that the "green new deal", this new Green gives both praised, creates jobs and opportunities that will help us to fight both against social inequalities and the financial crisis on climate change. Excluding the poor Europeans of green initiatives will make that stop the conversion of Europe to a green economy.
We must initiate a discussion at all levels of society on how to integrate solutions to social inequality in the fight against climate change policies. It is the objective of a project recently launched by the King Baudouin Foundation. Based on the results of work of the Commission services have begun earlier this year, the Foundation wants to bring together experts on climate change and social justice to discuss the importance of a common approach to integrate the objectives of social equity in the European fight against climate change policies. The findings of these discussions will feed into the thinking of policy makers in 2010, the European year for combating poverty and social exclusion. It is our duty to support this process.
