EN & DE - COP20 Lima in Peru - Jo Leinen (S&D, DE), Vice-Chair of the EP delegation to COP20 (in German) 09.12: “Peru wants to impress with this conference, but it would not be good to keep quiet about the problems this country is facing, including Lima with a population of 10 Million people where water shortage is also today know, because the water from the Andean does not arrive anymore. I do not agree with this, because they could reach for help from other countries if they would put the glacier problem on the agenda.” Arrival of participants during the IPU session starts / Impressions from the panel discussion Climate-induced inequalities: a new political challenge? (participants:· Senator Silvia Guadalupe Garza Galván (Mexico), · Mr. Ekwee Ethuro, Speaker of the Senate (Kenya), · Mr. Jo Leinen, Member of the European Parliament) Jo LEINEN (S&D, DE) (in English): “It is our responsibility of this generation really to show and this is the test, if we are global citizens thinking about this planet or if we are local citizens only thinking about our country.
