Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 Summit.


G8 Summit

The point that my hon. Friend makes is important, and I think that he is right: once an agreement is made, it is important that it is properly enforced. Personally, I think that reform of the UN Security Council is now long overdue. However, he is also right in saying that for poorer countries adaptation will be very difficult indeed, and that is why a specific part of the communiqué is geared precisely to making sure that as part of a global deal, we help the poorest to adapt to the change in climate.
