Paragraph 3

3. Notes that the US President’s announcement of the country’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement gives the EU the opportunity and reinforces its obligation to assume a leading role in climate action and to step up its climate diplomacy efforts to form a strong alliance of countries and actors that will continue to support and contribute to the objectives of limiting global warming to well below 2°C while pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4

4. Believes that mitigating climate change and moving towards a low- emission economy will contribute to enhanced peace and security both within and outside of the EU as climate change often exacerbates existing instabilities and conflicts, even leading to increased migration flows due to the scarcity of resources and lack of economic opportunities as well as a deterioration in living conditions;deleted

9. Calls for an allocation of human and financial resources in the EEAS and the Commission, which better reflects the strong commitment to and increased engagement in climate diplomacy; urges the EEAS to include climate diplomacy on EU delegations’ agendas when meeting their counterparts from third countries and international or regional organisations and to orchestrate and assign strategic importance to climate diplomacy efforts in every EU delegation with the representations of the Member States in third countries; calls, therefore, for the inclusion of a higher percentage of climate experts when creating mixed posts in the EU delegations;deleted
