NEW DELHI: The United Nations on Wednesday supported India's position
on climate change and pulled up the United States for its failure to
do enough to curb the green house gas (GHG) emissions.
"No, I don't think that the US is doing enough on either front to curb
emissions. In that manner, not a single industrialised country is
doing sufficient to tackle the climate change," Yvo de Boer, executive
secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change, told reporters in New Delhi.
He said that with only two years left for negotiations that will end
in Copenhagen at the end of 2009 as decided by the recent Bali summit,
there was a need for enhanced global cooperation particularly between
developed and developing countries in tackling climate change.
De Boer favoured developing countries including India's stand on the
fight against climate change and said they cannot be forced to
compromise to set emission targets at the cost of their development.
Since this is a global issue, we require global help and in this
backdrop we can't ignore the developing countries' concern of economic
growth and eradication of poverty, the UN official said.
Regarding the UN role in post-Bali conference in tackling climate
change, he said, "We don't want to see what the countries do not want
but to see what the countries can do to tackle climate change."
He said there is a need to define measurable, reportable, and
verifiable appropriate emission limitation commitments to developed
countries while mitigation actions for developing countries.
