VERTIC evidence to UK Parliament inquiry into climate change

2004
In January 2004 the European Union (EU) Committee of the House of Lords called for evidence for its inquiry into EU climate change policy: 'Towards a Sustainable EU Policy on Climate Change'. VERTIC's response to this inquiry advocates a cooperative and facilitative approach to international efforts to tackle climate change. In its submission VERTIC told the Committee that: 'The EU should continue to show a strong political and practical commitment to the climate change regime, thereby building confidence in its future and efficacy'. The submission highlights the need for states to implement the 1997 Kyoto Protocol's requirements promptly and explains the negative impact that inaction by EU member states could have on efforts to reduce emissions. VERTIC's response underlines the importance of reporting and verification in the climate change regime and also stresses the need to ensure speedy compliance with the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.

2002
