right on the insulation and the true investment in the transformation of our industrial park and it will make energy is modeled on. the climate plan that was presented by a minister you know look he is a courageous plant did this is your response that we are not stepping back from our commitments we have taken responsible decisions we have abandoned irresponsible. interests we have been strong in our intention to involve everyone be in is stronger than its plan. rich countries ladies and gentlemen that have a dual responsibility. we have been a part of climate change. we have experienced it too if we have experienced the transformation from the industrial era with all of the effects that we know now and today therefore when asked if you could be actively participate in the climate
4:31 pm
really transformation and a mitigating effects of climate change in rich countries having posed on the world . universal violence was the mood today. they do not have the choice of imposing their own tragedy next on the other countries in the world and so we have but one obsession action we only have one horrors and horizon the planning and that is now thank you. for watching our lives national coverage of the climate conference in bomb that was are you actually mentioned a man while macro i'm calling on europe to take more leadership in the fight against climate change in light of the u.s.'s departure from the climate accord but we can go now to bonn where our reporter japanese christopher spring gate is standing by for the latest so we just heard mark wrong speak prior to that miracle spoke christopher share with us your impressions. well it
4:32 pm
seems to me that. the german chancellor was a little bit hampered by the fact that she is in the middle of negotiations for her next government where is what we saw from president micro who of course has a very big majority in the french parliament was. a much stronger speech much more committed speech let's just turn to looks my share of german watched the german think tank we used to call the climate chancellor do we now have to call president emanuel macor the climate president. well what he said is was certainly a sort of a strong call to action. all presidents have to become climate presidents and all chances have to become time and chancellors what we heard from anglo-american was not very convincing today she actually gave a strong description of the problem of why it's important to act a strong call to action to the global community but we really need to hear from her
4:33 pm
is how her future government will actually implement a german targets and she stayed very vague on that that's right i mean she said. phasing out coal is or combating climate emissions is not easy also in germany we have to think about jobs we have to think about how expensive electricity is. and she acknowledged that germany uses a lot of culture as you say clearly aware of the problem how hard do you think she is pushing her potential coalition partners especially the liberal pro-business free democrats and her own christian democrats to to make greater commitments in phasing out coal in germany i mean everything we hear from within a coalition negotiation legal papers and so on it seems like she needs a push harder she she sort of taking a more of a moderating position and she if there's
4:34 pm
a just at all scenarios shows that that won't be enough to reach the twenty twenty target and she said in her speech this is a question of credibility you have to meet your own targets. german watch published today the your annual climate change performance index how is germany performing germany is that of in the medium of medium range of the of the countries twenty second rank and we look at we have sixty the first four spots are for the first response are free so the best friend country is ranked fourth that we do that because of all the countries we look at none is actually doing enough to come out global warming but if you. for instance sweden and first play or in fourth place are doing more i'm way more ambitious than germany germany's is sort of twenty second sort of medium to law. and that's mainly because of our call addiction that's because we still burn way too much coal renewables are growing but they're
4:35 pm
growing slower. and german climate policy is lacking sort of the measures that we have good targets but we need the measures the tools the instruments to actually reach those targets ok so there's a performance gap we're making promises but we're talking the talk but not walking the walk essentially what about the sort of headline statements of commitment from the german chancellor angela merkel from the french president emmanuel mccall the german chancellor said this is a question of destiny it is the the central challenge for humanity in one remark or said things that were very similar were you satisfied with that general statement of commitment to the paris process to the paris agreement i think it's very good to hear from from global leaders here that everyone is committed to the paris agreement and that now has to mean however that you're committed to the targets of the paris agreement the objective is to limit global warming to one point five degrees or at least well below two degrees and in order to do that we all have to
4:36 pm
do more particularly rich countries like germany and the first step to get on a trajectory towards two degrees or one point five would be to have a mission to speak by two thousand and twenty globally and then they claim that after that has to mean for rich countries like germany to reduce its emissions as germany has committed itself to doing they just it's about the commitment is nice to the pears are given it's important to restate it but at this point is really about action at home you mention the year twenty twenty which of course is just three years away but a key sort of watershed in climate policy around the world earlier the fijian prime minister frank. anima rama who is presiding this climate summit said that negotiated negotiators rather had reached an agreement on what he called pre twenty twenty goals what is he talking about while he's talking about all the commitments countries have already made both developed and developing countries at the climate conference and came kuhn made pledges by how much they
4:37 pm
want to reduce their emissions for a number of developed countries those are legally binding also in the second commitment period of the kyoto protocol. and a number of countries have said here in the first week of the talks let's talk about how well you're doing are you actually meeting your commitments to reduce your emissions this is an urgent problem we need action now we have to look how well you're going to be doing in the next three years we can it's important to talk about twenty thirty targets it's important to talk about a twenty fifty vision but we cannot lose sight of the immediate future about what's happening right now so we need a space to discuss two thousand and twenty and they found an agreement on how to organize those discussions and of course one crucial moment in the immediate future is another summit coming up in paris being hosted by the french president emmanuel mccall on the twelfth of december which is exactly two years after the paris twenty fifteen agreement that's going to be about finance. president mccrone was saying. that the rich world needs to step up do you think we're going to see. an
4:38 pm
acceleration of commitments at the paris summit in december well i think what we will see is a lot of commitments from investors from banks to do more to reallocate their their investments towards more climate friendly. uses i think what we heard from the u.n. secretary general today if an infrastructure investment is not green we cannot give it the green light is the spirit of that summit in paris so this is i think really about getting a broader set of investors together to invest in a more climate friendly way it cannot be a replacement for the commitment that developed countries that rich. countries have made to mobilize one hundred hundred billion annually by two thousand and twenty so this is is this is additional is really important to shift those trillions of investment flows. but it's not a replacement for what we have to discuss here which is the public financial support for the poorest countries ok looks my share from german watch staying with
4:39 pm
us beyond the call of duty thank you very very much sara back to you in berlin thank you so much christopher. but you're just joining us you're watching d.w. special wife coverage of cop twenty three the u.n. climate conference in bonn christopher spring gate is following the conference for us and earlier we heard the german chancellor angela merkel speak on the importance of paris climate agreement. so it's very important for each and every one to know who saw her and so to make these contributions comparably so we have to be seen as serious. accepting paris as a starting point and also knowing that i want our work has already started and so that if we look at because test refuse that we see all over the world natural disasters we are aware of the fact that this is a very toxic and was not we need to take seriously that we need to match it with deeds we here in germany put a lot of effort although will be controversial so i'm not saying this sort of just
4:40 pm
like that easily and saying well you have to do something though i know it's difficult i know it's difficult to fight for it so i wish all of you who are standing up for climate change be it as representatives of state as representatives of n.g.o.s show the necessary courage and goodwill and thank you for listening all right that was anglo-american speaking a little earlier christopher she said the paris agreement is just a start what comes next. you know i'm sorry you picked out exactly the important sentence in that statement we just heard from anglo american and the french president emanuel michael echoed that from paris is a starting point back in twenty fifteen when the paris agreement was sealed it was seen as a historic victory for the cause of fighting climate change on a global level. but it's not a moment to relax essentially and that's what's happening here in bonn i was saying
4:41 pm
a few days ago without bond there is no paris that they mean by a starting point that as i was saying earlier paris the paris agreement is a bit like a constitution that sets out the broad guidelines for an ambitious climate policy on the global level climate policy on the global level that will prevent what people call catastrophic climate change the thing is with a constitution you need to interpret it you need to write out the regulations countries around the world need to agree on that and it's that rule book that negotiators here in bonn are working on they have a draft and next year in poland at the next climate summit they will be securing discussing basically the final draft of that book and agreeing upon it so that's the road map is what we're witnessing right now is some of the political grunt work but of course climate change is of serious issue for many people we heard from one
4:42 pm
young boy from fiji earlier today who talked about the personal impact that climate change is having on him. to day isn't revolution that the threat from climate change is real edge and serious and is growing overnight. to the former president of america mr barack obama he states and i quote climate change is no longer some thought of it is up and here it is happening now and quote yes ladies and gentlemen this is real it is not i made him i already do things like this heavy gun to me what will happen if this reality these days it isn't gentleman speech isn't does the lots of the problem but walk the talk is more effective than change the mindset and set up platform in combating this environment don't use you for our next generation all right walk the talk is kid that was
4:43 pm
a young boy from fiji speaking about the impact the climate change is having on his island christopher with all the talks going on the last couple days do you get the feeling there in bonn that the emotional impact of climate change is still resident there with the delegates. absolutely i mean delegates here you know many of them from environmental n.g.o.s but also countries like the country of origin of that boy we were just listening to fiji but also all the other pacific island nations they are suffering from the impacts of climate change right now they need to act right now and above all they need the rest of the world to act right now because most of these vulnerable nations are not the prime causes of climate change it is the rich industrialized world that since the industrial revolution has been pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and they really need to step up and refresh their commitments the funding commitments their pledges to cut emissions and make them more ambitious alright that's chris for spring it our
