Bonn climate change conversations end in failure


E

nvoys in Bonn failed to agree on whether or not to acknowledge science after more than a week of UN climate talks.

Countries collectively decided to prevent risky levels of warming of above 2C back in 2009.

But a set of talks aimed at establishing what level of emission reductions were on the table ended in failure on Wednesday.

As RTCC reported on Tuesday the EU, Least Developed Countries and the Africa Group wanted more detail on the national strategies of major polluters.

But China, India and Saudi Arabia were among those who rejected this call, and said it should wait until countries gather in Paris in December to discuss a global pact to avert warming.
