UN hopeful about climate change

20 May 09

The head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change says he has seen "encouraging developments" in recent climate change negotiations.His comments come as the first "negotiating text" for the UN's December climate change conference is published on the UNFCCC website. The text collates discussion proposals from all of the nations that will take part in the December talks. "We have an almost complete list of industrialised nations' pledges to cut emissions after 2012, so governments can see now, more clearly, where they are in comparison to each other, and can build a higher ambition on that basis," Mr de Boer said.
