UN Environment Agency uneasy about Copenhagen talks

BEIJING, December 17 (Xinhua) Achim Steiner, executive Director of UNEP, said December 16 that there was reason to worry about the ultimate outcome of the Copenhagen Conference, according to the U.N. website.　　He said the United Nations Environment Programme was continuing to work with many delegations to support the campaign by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to reach agreement in Copenhagen. The Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, Steiner, said he was more optimistic about the outcome of the Copenhagen talks than he is now one weeks ago. The slow pace of negotiations over the past 1.5 weeks has led to restrictions on the actual use of national leaders on arrival in those two days.　　Steiner says the Copenhagen Conference needs to convey the message of hope that leaders of the world should seize this historic opportunity. Steiner: "Like many summits, you are faced with a choice at some point." Either you make a big step forward and resonate, or we go back and stick to our attitude. What I want to exaggerate is that in Copenhagen, we need partnerships. "The Copenhagen climate change negotiations since December 7, the developed and developing countries in the Kyoto Protocol in the new greenhouse gas emissions reduction arrangements, the status and role of the emerging developing countries should bear the obligation to reduce emissions and how to provide to the developing countries to adapt to climate change, and other issues on the subject of great differences, Led to a stalemate in the negotiations.
