Recital F
F. whereas poverty and inequality should be understood in a wide sense that includes deprivation of access to vital resources of all kinds, in particular safe, clean water, as over 40% of the global population does not have access to sufficient clean water, and developing countries are most affected by water shortages and poor water quality, as well as discrimination, which reduces possible life choices and adaptation capabilities; whereas women, children, elderly people, persons with disabilities and, indigenous peoples are often subject to discrimination;

Recital I
Recital I
I. whereas the governments of developing countries must lead efforts to reduce vulnerabilities, increase resilience and strengthen support capacities, but the EU, its Member States and other developed and emerging countries must radically scale up their actions, given that the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that are causing climate change were emitted almost exclusively by them, their emissions remain totally dominant, they possess badly needed resources for effective climate action, and they have made important commitments in this respect; whereas, for all these reasons, the EU, its Member States and other developed and emerging countries have a moral obligation to do much more;

8. Expresses its support to young people and recognises their valuable contribution in raising global awareness of climate change and the need to empower younger generations; underlines the importance of intercultural dialogue with migrants and refugees in order to raise awareness of climate change and also to combat all racist and discriminatory practices against migrants, taking into consideration, however, that the main causes of migration are economic, social and political;
