U.N. Official Says Failure in Copenhagen Not an Option, Agreement Still Possible

摘要

The United Nations' top climate official said Sept. 11 that failure to come up with a meaningful climate agreement in December is not an option, saying he is not ready to give up on developing an emissions-reduction pact to succeed the Kyoto Protocol.rnSpeaking at a World Economic Forum meeting in China, Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, said he intends to push forward in negotiating real commitments on emissions reductions at the U.N. climate change summit in Copenhagen.
