YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSumming up the Talks at the closing press conference, UNFCCC Executive Secretary, Yvo de Boer, said Parties had called for proposals which would enable them to deliver on the four key elements of an agreed outcome in Copenhagen: mitigation, adaptation, technology and finance. But with negotiating time up to 2009 running short, he urged that "proposals need to become more targeted."
Mr. de Boer spoke of real progress having been made in implementing action on adaptation to climate change. He also expressed the hope that developed countries would announce voluntary contributions to the Kyoto Protocol's Adaptation Fund at the Climate Change Conference in Poznan in December.
The agreement to scale up practical technology transfer efforts was also welcomed by Mr. de Boer, but he cautioned that "a larger advance in technology cooperation will be crucial for the success of a Copenhagen agreement."
"The road ahead is daunting," he said. While acknowledging the commitment of many countries to reach an agreed outcome in Copenhagen, he stressed that "It is crucial that the next meetings produce concrete negotiating texts."
