Ukraine may join Russia in shunning the extended Kyoto Protocol after United Nations envoys approved a text the two nations didn’t agree with, according to the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels.
Ukraine, the eastern European nation located in the natural-gas trading corridor between the EU and Russia, is listed in a Dec. 8 text outlining the conclusions of climate talks held in Doha as agreeing to cut its emissions by 20 percent of 1990 levels by 2020. They had already fallen by 60 percent in 2010, according to data published by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn on Nov. 16.
