Cancun Talks May Hinge on U.S.-China Deal; Durban, South Africa, to Host 2011 Summit

摘要

The success of United Nations climate change talks that opened Nov. 29 in Cancun, Mexico, will depend largely on whether U.S. and Chinese negotiators can find common ground on a host of unresolved issues, ranging from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to providing money to help vulnerable nations adapt to global warming's effects, a U.S. negotiator said.rn"I think that a success here will only emerge if we can both come to agreement" on such issues, Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change Jonathan Pershing told reporters at a Cancun press conference held the opening day of the two-week summit.
