Climate change negotiations accomplish little in Bangkok
Apr 8, 2011Bangkok – International negotiations on climate change held this week failed to tackle a host of issues that are pitting developed against developing nations, the chief UN climate change official said Friday.
A session of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which is to wrap up late Friday, has left much to be discussed before a climate change summit planned for the end of the year in Durban, South Africa.
Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres acknowledged that little had been accomplished to further the progress made last year at the climat summit in Cancun, Mexico.
For instance, the talks failed to put agriculture as well as maritime and aviation emissions on this year’s work agenda, she said.
Other unsolved issues included agreements to work on global goals for emissions cuts, reviews of past cuts and the legal structure of a climate regime.
‘All of these big-picture issues did not find space in Cancun, and it is clear after this meeting that they remain on the table,’ Figueres said.
The week-long Bangkok talks to set the agenda for the next session of climate discussions in June in Bonn, Germany, and the Durban meeting were expected to continue late into the night Friday, their final day.
