Stavros Dimas
Commissioner for Environment

Thank you very much for all your questions. It’s good to see that so many people share the sense of urgency that I feel when I look at our climate – Copenhagen has to deliver and I am sure it will.

I hope I haven’t been too technical, but sometimes it’s important to look at the thinking that underlies the main positions, especially on crucial issues like deforestation and ways to find incentives to prevent it. What we need is an agreement that is politically possible and scientifically credible, setting us on the path to a low-carbon future fuelled by clean, sustainable sources of energy.

I’ll be posting regularly on climate in the coming weeks, and going over what I see as some of the main building blocks in the agreement we need to reach in Copenhagen.

Many thanks for following,

Stavros Dimas
