DGB: Copenhagen should not be discouraged. Technologies to reduce CO2 emissions continue to develop.

"The results of the 15th Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen are disappointing. But they must not be discouraged, but should inspire us and the politicians, "said DGB board member Dietmar Hexel on Tuesday in Berlin. The Bonn Conference in 2010 would bring tangible results. This includes the trade union demands were for a socially just transition to a low carbon production, the decent and well-paying jobs make it. "This requirement of the International Trade Union Confederation was supported by many countries in Copenhagen. The German Government is requested to pursue this in the discussions to the next COP in 2010, "said Hexel.

in Copenhagen was not a binding agreement signed by all States, but merely "take note" taken. Binding targets to reduce CO2 emissions are missing. Thus there is no verifiable for all operations, including the 2-degree target global warming by the States should not be exceeded.

"Copenhagen has achieved less than expected. This is a catastrophe for the environment and the world community. The social and economic consequences and costs will increase significantly and a particular burden workers and poor countries strong when nothing is done decisively. Politicians have the problem no longer be postponed. That the emerging and developing countries, the financial offer was too low by developed countries is understandable. This has helped in Copenhagen no agreement has been ratified, "said the DGB board member.

The countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America wanted to participate in the qualitative growth and reduce the wealth gap with the developed countries, Hexel. "This is only with climate-friendly and sustainable technology and corresponding financial transfer. Germany can support emerging and developing countries as a market leader in green technologies themselves well and be a pioneer in many fields. The quite legitimate demand for an emissions output per Kopf fordert insbesondere den größten Emitenten, die USA, heraus. Die Technologien zur Energieeffizienz und zur CO ₂ -Reduzierung müssen weiterentwickelt und ein globaler Emissionshandel angestrebt werden. Sonst droht ein Abwandern der CO ₂ -intensiven Industrien in Länder ohne Regelungen. Das ist weder gut fürs Klima noch für die ArbeitnehmerInnen in Deutschland und Europa."
