Spain reduce CO2
The EU committed itself in 2009 during the climate change summit held in Copenhagen to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions 20% and now is ready to move to 30% and Spain reduce CO2..
In short, Aguilar will meet with the EU Environment Ministers to raise the percentage increase in the reduction of greenhouse gases. He warned, however, that the increased commitment of the European Union could be a "toast to the sun" in the event that any agreement in Cancun is not under the UN umbrella.
At the previous summit in Copenhagen only a political agreement, signed by 110 countries, which is not insured or control and no monitoring of the commitments of countries.Accompanied by Secretary of State for Climate Change, Teresa Ribera, the minister added that the summit there is a willingness to move towards a "possible agreement needed and desired by Spain and Spain reduce CO2.."

Stressing that can not pass up the opportunity of the Cancún summit to combat climate change, Aguilar said that Spain will work until "the last minute to advance commitments" and anchor the political agreement of the previous meeting in Copenhagen in a text backed by the UN and Spain reduce CO2..
In his view, the documents of the negotiators on the table "there" to reach an agreement, although "not a finished text, but starting, so we'll keep working on key issues (financing and reduction commitments .)
He stressed that no one should "move beyond" the Kyoto Protocol but must "bring forward", which "is not easy, is complex, and there are contradictions to be overcome."At the Cancun Summit on Climate Change, countries seek to reach an agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol (1997), expires in two years.
'Shy progress' with China and the U.S.The differences over whether to extend or not this protocol, which came into force five years ago and has not been ratified by some countries like USA and China, the biggest polluters of the planet, and whether it should be binding also for emerging economies have become the focus of negotiation and Spain reduce CO2..
As for China and the U.S. position in the Cancun summit, the minister explained that they are producing "modest progress, we stay with it."During the meeting in Copenhagen, the U.S. led to an agreement with China, Brazil, South Africa and India to voluntary commitments, which have not yet implemented.
