The Planet Has No Plan B

Jose Manuel Barroso, EC President | October 19, 2009

The developing world will bear the brunt of climate change and we should take a moral approach to solving the problems it will produce. ++ The crisis bears with it large economic potential: "Building the low-carbon economy that we need will unleash a surge of innovation, investment and jobs in clean technologies and products.” ++ “Green growth” is possible but Europe must maintain a unified approach at Copenhagen to progress. ++ “We cannot be distracted by talk of Plan B, or we will end up with Plan F for failure.”
