Leaders of Major Economies Fail to Agree On Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions Targets

摘要

On the closing day of their summit meeting in Japan July 9, the Group of Eight industrial nations, joined by eight other major greenhouse gas-emitting nations, failed to agree on common worldwide emissions-reduction targets. The leaders of the Major Economies Meeting on Energy Security and Climate Change released a declaration committing themselves to actions to address climate change and reduce emissions, but offered no concrete targets or deadlines.
