- President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, said that the relationship of humanity with the environment " has reached a turning point,'' so" we adapt to a form of lives to stop climate change or global warming will permanently alter the way we live''.
We are caught in the false dilemma that ''choose between dynamic development or the environment, he added.
"There is no such dilemma, it is possible to achieve sustained economic growth and at the same time, reduce emissions and to achieve that we minimize emissions without sacrificing growth or maximize growth under white in terms of emissions targets ''he explained.
Calderon participated Thursday in the third session of the Working Group on the Green Growth in the framework of the Summit of Leaders of the Group of 20 (G-20), which held that the "green road ' ' is to promote a low carbon economy and implement measures to mitigate climate change.
The next host of the 16th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations on Climate Change (COP-16) to be held in Cancun , Mexico, next month, indicated that a low carbon economy "is the answer to resolve the dilemma''.
I aim to evolve to a low carbon economy is crucial for the welfare of future generations, and noted that Mexico believes strongly that the world needs a new era of effective global action to combat climate change.
mention that at COP-16 will have the opportunity to move towards a global regime to reduce carbon emissions, and advancement that significantly advanced in some areas that can implement immediate action.
For example, we have made agreements of adaptation, technology transfer, financing and long fast start term lists.
I note that probably the most important advances will be made in Cancun will be the reduction of emissions for deforestation and degradation, ie in forest emissions regulated.
however, commented that there are areas "crucial''in the agreement that seeks to achieve to ensure real progress at COP-16, as the objective to keep the temperature increase below two degrees Celsius or mitigation commitments and actions of transparency.
He said one important part of the process as are the long-term commitments from developed economies like the United States or developing but are large emitters such as China and India.
ad that so far there is good chance to take important steps in the Cop-16 to be held in Mexico and stressed that the participation of companies involved in green energy will "key''to show countries, governments and society that there are new options for the sustainable development path.
