By 2010, the net reduction in global emissions from Europe meeting the Kyoto Protocol will be only 0.1%,

A cooperative global approach to reducing emission growth is more likely to produce real emissions reductions, without damaging economic growth in the EU and elsewhere,

The findings of our research suggest that an alternative approach (to climate change) is urgently needed for both the developing and developed world,

We need to focus on things like the [Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate], which are driven by long-term strategies to reduce emissions and boost growth.
