would have wanted to go even further than the initial text in the cover text on coal. this is a consequence of our own painful experience with coal. we all know that european wealth was built on coal and if we don't get rid of cole, european death will also be built on coal. we know full well that coal has no future. and this is what we are working on with our own plans, to put an end to coal in europe in the foreseeable future. having said that, of course it will be no surprise to you that what was just read out to us is a further disappointment. not because we want to be right, but because we know the longer you take to get rid of coal, the more burden you put on a natural environment, but also the more burden you put on your economy because coal is not a smart economic proposition either. that is why we want to speed up the exit out of coal. having said all that, if i look at the conclusions we are going to be drawing today we are going to work bloody hard on getting rid of coal and i believe this conclusion will help us work in that direction. the european union will be strongly committed to that, notjust within the european union, but also with our partners worldwide. and for us, the model we have found, together with the united kingdom, the united states, germany and france and south africa should be the template of how we help other coal producing countries to rid themselves of this fossil. mr president, that is what we will want to do in the years to come. so having expressed my disappointment, i want to reiterate what i said in my earlier intervention. this should not stop us from deciding today, even before you have read everything, i have to say it's a historic decision under your leadership, and you can be very proud of that, mr president. applause. i thank the european union for their intervention. i now give the floor to lichtenstein. lipton steyn, have the floor~ — to lichtenstein. lipton steyn, have the floor. . ~ to lichtenstein. lipton steyn, have the floor. ., ~ , ., ~ , the floor. thank you, mr president, and also for — the floor. thank you, mr president, and also for the _ the floor. thank you, mr president, and also for the great _ the floor. thank you, mr president, and also for the great effort -

the floor. thank you, mr president. | a few days ago, four days ago, when we talked about some language on loss and damage, we were told we were introducing something at the last minute. it's rather ironic that just about two hours ago, we discussed it and there is an amendment now being made to that, and that i would call a last minute, without any due process being followed. i think the point of the matter is 1.5 degrees has always been a red line for us, particularly in low—lying countries, island states. what we would like to express is notjust our astonishment but our immense disappointment in the manner in which this has been introduced. secondly, we seem to be dealing with various clauses in a disjointed fashion. there is no confluence between the earlier clauses prior to this talking about the 1.5 degrees, and indeed the impact on our ability to reach 1.5 degrees by having what we are now calling a down which has no demonstrable measurements, no methodology as to how we will do it. i think that is critically important, and we need to remember that. and i hope all the other countries would have the capacity and the ability to do so, and will in fact do so, because small island states like ours do not have the capacity and we are reliant on all the other countries that believe in phasing out coal, will do that for us. thank you. thank you, fiji, foryour intervention. antigua and barbuda, we will_ intervention. antigua and barbuda, we will now— intervention. antigua and barbuda, we will now take your intervention. thank— we will now take your intervention. thank you. — we will now take your intervention. thank you, mr president. the 39 leaders of the alliance of small island states, in september, signed a declaration to urge major emitters, particularly the g20, to phase out all fossil fuel subsidies by 2023. we were disappointed to find the addition of the inefficiency from the g20 language, but can accept that this is as far as we can go today. the challenge with securing today's historic commitment for the unfccc to phase out inefficient fossil fuels, despite knowing this is required to stay on a 1.5 degrees global pathway, deeply concerns us. the challenges of the energy transition are real, and we recognise the political risks that come with the climate change response, and the nature of the fossil fuel industry in the world today, are real. we need to double down on retraining workforces so that this is an easy decision to make, going forward. we appreciate the outcome of today, although we reiterate the challenges around the process. thank you. thank ou, around the process. thank you. thank you. antigua — around the process. thank you. thank you. antigua and _ around the process. thank you. thank you, antigua and barbuda, _ around the process. thank you. thank you, antigua and barbuda, for -
