Ambitious global pact on climate change in sight
“Between now and Copenhagen, the level of ambition needs to be increased ... This is still possible if the opportunities for international cooperative action are fully seized.”
- Yvo de Boer, UN environmental official
An ambitious and effective global pact to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is in sight, the top United Nations climate change official said Friday, as the latest round of negotiations wrapped up in Bonn, Germany.
Delegates from 183 countries met for two weeks to discuss, for the first time, key negotiating texts which can serve as the basis for the global climate change deal, to be clinched in Copenhagen in December.
