The priority of United Nations climate talks this year should be to extend the world’s only treaty that caps greenhouse-gas emissions beyond 2012, the lead spokesman for 130 developing nations and China said.
Envoys from more than 190 countries need to agree on a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol during talks that start Nov. 28 in Durban, South Africa, Argentina’s ambassador to the UN, Jorge Arguello, said today in an interview at the latest round of discussions in Bonn, Germany.
