YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBriefing the media on the opening day of the Bangkok Climate Change Talks, Yvo de Boer said that Bangkok was important in delivering some real answers on what should be the key elements of a Copenhagen agreement.
Referring to a series of important climate change meetings over the past week, he welcomed the sincere commitment by Heads of State and Government to see a comprehensive, fair and ambitious deal on climate change in Copenhagen in December. Bangkok was critical, he said, in putting these political intentions into practical language that can constitute a Copenhagen agreement.
Calling the progress of negotiations "painfully slow," Mr. de Boer called for higher ambition from industrialized countries to cut emissions and for financial support to help developing countries engage.
He also underlined significant moves forward, including recent climate change initiatives by both China and India, and Japans pledge to increase substantially its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
