Just 55 countries submit climate pledges by UN deadline

摘要

Only 55 out of 194 countries have submitted their pledge to reduce CO_2 emissions by 2020, as agreed by the Copenhagen Accord, the United Nations (UN) said this week, pointing out that the goals announced were "insufficient", set against the disastrous effects of climate change.rnJanos Pasztor, the UN's top climate adviser, said that the goals make it highly unlikely the world can prevent temperatures from rising above the target set at the Copenhagen climate conference in December.
