No climate change deal yet

Posted by Ryan Reyes On November - 16 - 2009

obamaapecSingapore – US President Barack Obama and leaders of economic powers awared of no sign of a chief breakthrough over climate change by year’s end for next month’s conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, is no longer possible to give way a major resolution to fight global warming.

But, there’s a new two-step process that Obama and APEC leaders are endorsing which aims the Copenhagen conference be a stepping stone for climate change.

Obama made a surprise appearance at a breakfast dedicated to global warming at the APEC summit in Singapore on Sunday, and Mike Froman, a White House deputy national security adviser, said the president informed the other leaders it’s important for at least some development to be completed next month.

Froman said the initial step would be to have all 191 countries participated in the Copenhagen summit signing on to a framework that comprises key ingredients such as how to fund the coordinated effort to combat climate change. The subsequent step, is to bind a deal on cutting carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, in an official declaration released Sunday, the 21 nations that form APEC vowed to “work towards an ambitious outcome in Copenhagen,” a vague promise that reflects how far from concrete action that the world’s leading economies still find themselves.

The leaders also assured a pledge they made at a summit in 2007 to reach “an APEC-wide aspirational target of reducing energy intensity by at least 25 percent by 2030.”
