The timetable to reach a global deal to tackle climate change
lay in tatters yesterday after the United Nations waived the
first deadline of the process laid out at last month's fractious
Copenhagen summit.
Nations agreed then to declare their emissions reduction targets
by the end of this month. Developed countries would state their
intended cuts by 2020; developing countries would outline how
they would curb emissions growth.
But Yvo de Boer, the UN's top climate change official, admitted
yesterday that the deadline had in effect been shelved.
"By [the end of] January, countries will have the opportunity
to . . . indicate if they want to be associated with the accord,"
he said. "[Governments could] indicate by the deadline,
or they can also indicate later."
