ENVI Committie
This is our first post on the Blog!
So, topics for this committee are Climate Change and Renewable Energy. On the Internet it’s possible to find every information, maybe we are overwhelmed of too much info. We need to clarify some ground points and for this reason I’m going to use some institutional links.
The first one is the European Environmental Agency (EEA). This Agency, based in Copenhagen, provides independent information about environmental issues researching data and indicator sets giving a background to our policy maker. So I suggest to read EEA Signals 2010, published a couple weeks ago, it’s a good reading to understand how environment issues are involved in everyday life.
The second one is the Copenhagen Accord, because we have to understand what it’s arleady done and what’s the official roadmap. We can’t state that the Conference has been a success, you can read two articles for instance Guardian and BBC.
The third one is European Press Room: here we can find some useful articles about EU’s Politics.
Now, what’s your position? What we can do about it? How to deal with it? Why won’t US ratify the Kyoto Protocol?

I’m Andrea Sorgente, i’m an ALDE’s member in ENVI commission.
I think our position on these topics could be simply clarify hearing the speech of Adam Watson at this link:

and also reading ALDE’s program and strategies on the Website:

I agree with most of the position held by ALDE, in particular with the positive opinion shown about the importance of supporting the investments in reneweble energy and innovative technologies.
We must face and beat our dependence on oil and carbon if we want to contain the climate change, and this is the right way to do it.
