Developing countries form climate change front

China Daily | Updated: 2009-11-30 07:43

BEIJING: A clutch of major emerging economies including China and India have forged a united front to put pressure on developed countries at next month's climate change negotiations in Copenhagen.

Over two days of quietly arranged talks in Beijing, the countries said they had reached agreement on major issues, including the need for the West to provide finance and technology to help developing nations combat global warming.

The meeting was attended by senior officials from China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Sudan, the current chairman of the Group of 77 developing countries.

China, India and Brazil are among the leading emitters of greenhouse gases. All three, along with South Africa, have come under pressure to curb the pace of their carbon pollution and have announced plans to achieve this.

They say steps by rich nations to fight climate change are, collectively, not good enough.

Developing countries form climate change front

"The purpose of the meeting was to prepare for and contribute to a positive, ambitious and equitable outcome in Copenhagen," according to a statement released after the talks, which took place on Friday and Saturday.

"We believe that this work represents a good starting point and we will continue to work together over the next few days and weeks as our contribution towards a consensus in Copenhagen," the statement said.

The meeting in Copenhagen was supposed to yield the outlines of a broader and tougher legally binding climate agreement to expand or replace the Kyoto Protocol, whose first phase ends in 2012.

But the troubled negotiations have failed to bridge the divide between rich and poor nations on efforts to curb emissions, how to measure and report them and who should pay.

Talks host Denmark and a number of rich nations have instead backed a plan to seal a comprehensive political deal at Copenhagen and agree the legally binding details in 2010. But some developing nations are seeking a stronger outcome.

Call to back Kyoto pact

Developing nations have also expressed alarm at efforts to try to ditch the Kyoto Protocol by creating an entirely new agreement or cherry-picking from the existing pact and placing the provisions into another agreement.

The European Union has said Kyoto has failed in its intended aim of cutting rich nations' emissions and that a new agreement is needed.

The Beijing statement said the Kyoto Protocol should remain in force, with rich countries taking responsibility to cut emissions in accordance with the protocol's second commitment period from 2013.
