Negotiators on climate change won’t resume “hard-core” talks for a least a year after this week’s accord by developing nations to limit fossil-fuel emissions for the first time, U.S. lead negotiator Todd Stern said.
Countries will need to assess the agreement reached early Dec. 11 in Durban, South Africa, in which China, India and developing nations will draft a document with “legal force” by 2015 to curb pollution for all nations, Stern said today.
