Hello. What is your report about  and why is it so important?

The report sets out the obligation  to deliver on the goals

which were agreed upon  at the Climate Summit.

And in terms of figures,  what exactly are these goals?

The goals have been set  to reach 20% by 2020.

There are binding targets and some  countries will need a bit of a push.

Such as Spain.  -Such as Spain, for example.

Above all, we want to be demanding  in monitoring countries

so that they can attain the goals  and to be very, very ambitious,

as we must be,  about achieving the future goals.

If not, by 2050 our energy won't be  based primarily on renewable sources

as is crucial to slow down the tragic events  and consequences of climate change.

Best of luck and thank you very much.  -Thank you very much.
