Poland Climate Change Meet Yields Little, but European Union Agrees on Drastic Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The delegates at the Poland meet agreed only on a narrowly framed interim document that leaves all the difficult negotiating until next year.
Much of the negotiations focused on highly technical details, including how to measure deforestation and how to legally define an international fund aimed at helping poor countries adapt to climate change. But the core questions - how much industrialized countries will slash their emissions, what they expect in return from major emerging economies, and what they will do to help poorer countries pursue low-carbon development - remained untouched.
The mood of developing countries at Poznan, Poland was bitter. The world had immense hopes that the Poznan Conference Of Parties (COP) would send a clear signal ... that would herald a new era in global cooperation, senior Indian negotiator Pradipto Ghosh told delegates, as the meet ended at 3 a.m. after a deadlock on the issue of expanding resources for a fund to help the poorest countries adapt themselves to climate change impacts rising sea levels, melting glaciers and spreading deserts.
But in the face of the unbearable human tragedy that we see unfolding every day, we have seen callousness, strategising and obfuscation, he said, adding the negotiations fell apart because of developed countries which could not bear to be parted from even a miniscule share of their carbon profits.
