The scientific basis of climate change
In view of the above, this report exclusively focuses on the scientific facts of climate change that have been discussed in depth with worldwide renown experts at the committee’s first thematic session in September 2007 as well as in the context of the Joint Parliamentary Meeting of 1-2 October 2007.

In the light of the information gathered through these discussions, the rapporteur considers that:
In the light of the information gathered through these discussions, the rapporteur considers that:
· the science of climate change is well established and recognised worldwide, and the human origins of the current global warming trend are beyond any serious scientific doubt;
· the science of climate change is well established and recognised worldwide, and the human origins of the current global warming trend are beyond any serious scientific doubt;
· there is political consensus in the EU on the vital importance of achieving the strategic objective of limiting the global average temperature increase to not more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels and this objective shall drive the EU integrated policy on climate change;
· there is political consensus in the EU on the vital importance of achieving the strategic objective of limiting the global average temperature increase to not more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels and this objective shall drive the EU integrated policy on climate change;
· all efforts to curb emissions should, however, aim at staying even well below the 2°C target, as such a level of warming would already heavily impact on our society and individual lifestyles, and also imply significant changes in ecosystems and water resources;
· all efforts to curb emissions should, however, aim at staying even well below the 2°C target, as such a level of warming would already heavily impact on our society and individual lifestyles, and also imply significant changes in ecosystems and water resources;
· IPCC AR4 represents the most comprehensive and authoritative assessment of climate change to date, providing an integrated scientific, technical and socioeconomic perspective on relevant issues; it shall, therefore, be taken as the basis for the development of national and international policies on climate change;

· the scientific consensus as expressed in IPCC AR4 recommends halving the level of global emissions by 2050, which will be increasingly difficult to achieve if global emissions continue to rise until 2020 and beyond because of the cumulative effect of historical, present and future emissions of GHG contributing to global warming;

· science has identified a number of so-called 'tipping-points' in the earth climate system which represent points of no return for deeper irreversible climate change, whose impacts cannot be influenced or altered by humans any longer; these 'tipping-points' and the triggered unstoppable physical processes cannot be fully included into the existing future climate scenarios,

· existing climate change mitigation policies and related sustainable development practices are insufficient to reduce global GHG emissions over the next decades; according to scientific recommendations the window of opportunity to successfully stabilize global emissions in order to assure at least a probability of 50% to reach the EU 2° C target stays open until 2015 being the peak-year of global emissions;

· the collected data of scientific studies assessing concrete implications of already existing levels of global warming due to historic emissions underline the urgency of adaptation measures to be set in place to avoid serious damage to humans and the infrastructure first and foremost in the developing world, but also in Europe and other wealthier parts of the world;

· the communication of scientific evidence of human impact on the global climate has to be the major part of a broader attempt to gain public support for political measures to curb carbon emissions; individual changes in lifestyle-patterns are necessary and should be a part of educational attempts of communicating causes and effects of global warming;

· although scientific consensus stresses that technological and science-based solutions to combat GHG and to develop a low-CO2 industry and community are not yet fully available at acceptable cost, there are hopeful indications that with scientific and technological research solutions can be further developed in order to (first) halt the increase of GHG and (later) reduce the impacts of climate change.

In conclusion, the rapporteur considers the scientific basis of climate change as settled, and recommends that the temporary committee continues its work and presents, at the end of its mandate, a report to Parliament containing, as appropriate, recommendations as to actions or initiatives to be taken on the EU’s future integrated policy on climate change in line with the EU objective of limiting global temperature increase below 2°C and with the findings and recommendations of IPCC AR4.

А. като има предвид, че Декларацията на хилядолетието на ООН призовава всички държави да гарантират последователност на политиките за развитие,
A. whereas the UN Millennium Declaration calls on all States to ensure policy coherence for development,
Б. като има предвид, че ЕС се е ангажирал в голяма степен с гарантирането на последователността на политиките за развитие (ППР), в съответствие с разпоредбите на член 178 от Договора за създаване на Европейската общност, който гласи, че Общността взема предвид целите на политиката на Общността, в областта на сътрудничеството за развитие, в политиките, които осъществява и които има вероятност да засегнат развиващи се страни,
B. whereas the EU is strongly committed to ensuring policy coherence for development (PCD) in accordance with Article 178 of the EC Treaty, which stipulates that the Community shall take account of the objectives of Community policy in the sphere of development cooperation in the policies that it implements which are likely to affect developing countries,
В. като има предвид, че параграф 35 от гореспоменатия Европейски консенсус относно развитието гласи, че „ЕС изцяло се е ангажирал да предприема действия за насърчаване на последователността на политиките за развитие в множество области”, и че „е важно политиките, които не са свързани с развитието, да подпомагат усилията на развиващите се страни за осъществяване на ЦХР”,
C. whereas paragraph 35 of the above-mentioned European Consensus on Development stipulates that "the EU is fully committed to taking action to advance Policy Coherence for Development in a number of areas", and that "it is important that non-development policies assist developing countries’ efforts in achieving the MDGs",

D. whereas the above-mentioned biennial report of the Commission on PCD finds, among other things, that
