That this House congratulates the Government upon its manifesto commitment to reduce United Kingdom carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent. based on 1990 levels by 2010; further congratulates the Prime Minister for making it clear in the House that this is 'not a conditional target' (Official Report, 24th June 1997, columns 687-8); fully supports the Deputy Prime Minister's statement at the Fifth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Climate Change in Bonn in November in which he stressed the need for urgent domestic action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and that the Kyoto commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 12.5 per cent. between 2008 and 2012 is only a starting point, and emphasised his commitment to the domestic target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent. by 2010; looks forward to the setting out and introduction of policies and measures to meet both the Kyoto and the 20 per cent. Manifesto targets in the Government's forthcoming Climate Change Strategy; and acknowledges that this will enable the Government to continue to lead the international battle against dangerous climate change.

That this House is greatly concerned by the growing threat of climate change, recognised by over 600 of the world's leading scientists, caused by the emissions of greenhouse gases from human-based activities; acknowledges that solutions which are not equitable will not work; recognises that over half the world's population cause emissions which are consistent with or fall below the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change carbon dioxide/methane cuts for stabilisation parameters, thereby providing a 12 per cent. subsidy in emission rights taken over by those, including the United Kingdom, who are exceeding stabilisation requirements; therefore calls upon Her Majesty's Government to use all effective methods to put pressure on those industrialised countries, notably the United States of America, to curb their greenhouse gas emissions, to ensure that any statements which are signed by Her Majesty's Government at the Earth Summit Conference on Environment and Development in Rio in June 1992 reflect the above, and to make a commitment to a link between equity and survival.

That this House is concerned that climate change through enhanced global warming is a growing threat caused by the emissions of long-lived greenhouse gases from human activities; acknowledges that, whilst the majority of the global population are struggling to meet basic human needs, it is unacceptable that total emissions of greenhouse gases are derived largely from unsustainable, luxury-based activities; believes that future generations should have rights to sustainable livelihoods which are free from the threat of human-induced climate disruption; endorses the view of Chaudry Nisar Ali Khan, Senior Minister in Pakistan, that climate change proposals at the Earth Summit which are not equitable will not work; condemns the United States Government for refusing to accept the principle of setting targets for reductions in carbon dioxide emissions; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to use all effective methods of pressure upon the United States as well as other industrialised nations to ensure that a climate convention is signed at the Earth Summit next June which reflects the link between equity and survival.
