Traducción de «Adaptación a la oscuridad » (Español → Inglés) :

Given the considerable efforts necessary to combat climate change and to adapt to its inevitable effects, it is appropriate that at least 50 % of the proceeds from the auctioning of allowances should be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to adapt to the impacts of climate change, to fund research and development for reducing emissions and adaptation, to develop renewable energies to meet the Union’s commitment to using 20 % renewable energies by 2020, to meet the commitment of the Community to increase energy efficiency by 20 % by 2020, to provide for the environmentally safe capture and geological storage of greenhouse gases, to c ...[+++]ontribute to the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund and to the Adaptation Fund as made operational by the Poznan Conference on Climate Change (COP 14 and COP/MOP 4), to provide for measures to avoid deforestation and facilitate adaptation in developing countries, and to address social aspects such as possible increases in electricity prices in lower and middle income households.

The Green Paper sets out four lines of priority actions to be considered: early action to develop adaptation strategies in areas where current knowledge is sufficient; integrating global adaptation needs into the EU’s external relations and building a new alliance with partners around the world; filling knowledge gaps on adaptation through EU-level research and exchange of information; setting up a European advisory group on adaptation to climate change to analyse coordinated strategies and actions.

Within seven days from the time when the chickens are placed in the building and until three days before the foreseen time of slaughter, the lighting must follow a 24-hour rhythm and include periods of darkness lasting at least six hours in total, with at least one uninterrupted period of darkness of at least four hours, excluding dimming periods.

13. REITERATES that since climate change is already occurring and its impacts are already being felt and are even intensifying, adaptation is a necessary complement to mitigation policies and, in this context, LOOKS FORWARD to the further development and implementation of the five-year programme of work on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change; ENCOURAGES all countries to integrate adaptation into relevant decision-making processes; REAFFIRMS the need to operationalise the Adaptation Fund which will promote measures to facilitate adaptation by supporting concrete adaptation projects and programmes and assisting develo ...[+++]ping countries which are Parties to the Kyoto Protocol and are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change in meeting the cost of adaptation".

The darkness surrounding the separation of conjoined twins also applies to the break-up of the Yugoslav republics.

More generally, we need to dispel the obscurity which has descended on the Treaties as a result of successive additions being superimposed one on another.
