Division 3
Motion - Climate Change Conference in Paris
That this Assembly notes that the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference is taking place in Paris from 30 November to 11 December; considers that this is an opportunity to agree an ambitious global plan to tackle the threat of climate change; welcomes the Minister of the Environment's attendance at this conference to represent Northern Ireland; further notes that the projected reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 33·3% by 2025, based on 1990 levels, falls just short of the Programme for Government target of 35%; and calls on the Minister of the Environment to work with his Executive colleagues to introduce a Climate Bill for Northern Ireland that includes legally binding, long-term and interim targets on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
The Question was put and the Assembly divided.
