Climate Change Agreement Top Priority During Sweden's Turn in EU Presidency

摘要

Achieving a consensus on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol at the U.N. climate summit in Copenhagen in December will be Sweden's "principal task" during its upcoming turn in the EU presidency, according to the government.rnA spokesman for the Swedish Environment Ministry told BNA June 17 that eco-efficiency-meeting environmental and economic challenges together-and marine pollution also will be high priorities during the six-month rotating presidency, which begins July 1, when Sweden takes over from the Czech Republic.
