    L'Europe face au réchauffement climatique
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , n. 522, octobre-novembre ,  2008 ,  587-596
    In June of 2007 the EU published a Green Paper on its adaptation to climate change and the cost of these measures. As for the European Parliament, on the 29th November it asked for an international agreement to be concluded which would follow in 2012 the Kyoto Protocol, as well as for an international organisation to be greated, which would take care of controlling the respect of intergovernmental commitments in terms of combating climate change. Yet these proposals have only been given a lukewarm reception by the United States, China, India and most developing countries, which mantain that the fight against world climate change should not just simply mean reducing greenhouse gases, but managing emissions of the latter in a better way. It has been agreed that these issues shall be discussed in December 2008 at the Poznan conference (Poland), and in December 2009 at the Copenaghen conference in Denmark. According to Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations General Secretary, it will not be easy to reach a global climate agreement.
