IPCC Chairman Sees Widening Gap Between Rich, Poorer Nations in U.N. Climate Talks

摘要

The chairman of the United Nations climate science panel said Nov. 20 that the gap between developed and developing nations appears to be widening as the Dec. 7-18 international climate talks approach in Copenhagen.rnRajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said reluctance by the United States to bring a specific emissions reduction target to the negotiations is a key obstacle to progress at the meeting, which will bring together more than 190 nations.
