China News agency, Beijing, November 6 (Xinhua News agency reporter Li) the world's 15th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has one months to be held in the Danish capital of Copenhagen. However, the Copenhagen climate summit was not optimistic because of the lack of political will in the developed world, which led to a very tense and difficult negotiations. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) China Project Director Hou Yanli is in Barcelona, Spain, to attend the final round of formal talks on climate change before the summit. She said in an interview with Xinhua news agency 5th local time that the negotiations are progressing very hard and that the parties, especially the environmental agencies and developing countries, are very disappointed with the current negotiation process. More than 4,000 delegates from more than 180 countries and regions took part in the Barcelona climate change negotiations to prepare the final text for the Copenhagen Summit. The negotiations were planned for a period of five days and ended on 6th. Hou Yanli that the main resistance in the negotiations still comes from developed countries. Not only do some developed countries not have the political will to propose their own emission reduction targets and financial support to developing countries. Even repeatedly unreasonable requirements, such as the requirements of developing countries such as China, India and other states to do the so-called "three can" (measurable, reportable, verifiable) domestic emission reduction programmes, And with the developed countries co-financing assistance to other developing countries. She pointed out to her correspondent that the proposals violated the "common but differentiated responsibility" principle of the United Nations Climate Change Convention and deviated from the "Bali Road Map" mandate, which was aimed at blurring the established principles and thus fulfilling the historical responsibility of developed countries to the developing countries. Such a proposal creates key differences of principle and makes negotiations unsustainable. Yu, a special representative for climate change negotiations at the Chinese Foreign Ministry, has said this is equivalent to the last five minutes of a game, when one side suddenly decided to change the rules of the game. This is neither fair nor constructive. The failure of the developed countries has led to a high level of tension in the negotiations. Hou Yanli revealed that some African representatives had been in a huff because the developed countries had been slow to talk about their emissions reduction targets and financial support programs for developing countries. At the ministerial level, the representatives of the developed countries agreed to talk more about the issues during the remaining negotiating hours and the representatives of the African countries returned to the negotiating scene. So, if the resistance of the developed countries still exists, the phenomenon that the representative stormed out of the field will continue to occur. According to the "Bali road Map", the international community should reach a new agreement on climate change after 2010 at the Copenhagen Conference. The time for negotiations is now quite urgent, but the differences between the parties are still difficult to bridge. Speaking of China's efforts to tackle climate change and its role in the summit, Hou said that the rich world, after looking at China's efforts, has always believed that China has the potential to do more to reduce emissions and other efforts to put China under greater pressure. But she also believes that China, as a developing country, has finishedAll can jump out of the "encirclement" of the developed countries, and actively consult with the parties concerned. She said China has done a very good job of climate change and can "travel light" to demand that developed countries take their historical responsibility and seek their own interests. China has strengthened dialogue and cooperation with developed countries on climate change issues. Chinese President Hu Jintao and U.S. President Barack Obama, Premier Wen Jiabao, and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso have exchanged in-depth views on climate change issues. China expressed its willingness to work with the United States and the European side to promote the success of the Copenhagen Conference and expressed positive political will. Finish)
