As negotiations reach the final stages at COP17/CMP7 tensions are rising.

The European Union released a statement saying “We believe that the world has had a lot of time to think. What we need is not more thinking. What we need is more action”.

European Union Commissioner Connie Hedegaard revealed in a press briefing this morning that Brazil and South Africa have come on board and are willing to sign a legally binding agreement.

Hedegaard added that the success of Durban hangs on a small group of countries that have not yet committed.

The EU also stated that if there is no further movement here in Durban then there will not be a deal at COP17/CMP7.

The European Union also said the price of buying time is rising, Durban must deliver. #COP17
