David Miliband: "Thursday 10 September, 2009

4 Countries, One Day

Yesterday I was in Poland where 94 per cent of electricity is coal generated, symbolising some of the challenges even for relatively rich countries in engineering a shift to low carbon. But the Poles have the legacy of old Soviet era infrastructure, and so there are some rich pickings for companies serious about energy efficicency.

I now think Europe can forge a common and strong position on climate financing. The Prime Minister's speech from June still sets the bar for detail on sources, quantum and destination for funding. Today in Copenhagen we will see how to take European common ground and drive towards a global consensus."
