The US and China made bold statements in New York but the crunch will come in Copenhagen. Nigel Williams reports. A summit on greenhouse gas emissions called by UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon in New York last month drew a big attendance but little in concrete terms ahead of the key meeting in Copenhagen in December. China pledged its commitment to fighting climate change by promising a ‘notable’ reduction in the growth of carbon dioxide emissions at the meeting as the world's states gear up for a follow-up to the Kyoto protocol on greenhouse gas emissions. China, like India and other developing countries, has been reluctant to bear the brunt of what they see as a problem largely caused by developed countries in reaching that status. But, having previously resisted pressure to make any reductions for fear of restraining his country's rapid economic growth, President Hu Jintao signalled a change of course in an address to the UN.“It is work that will not be easy. As we head towards Copenhagen, there should be no illusions that the hardest part of our journey is in front of us.” “It is work that will not be easy. As we head towards Copenhagen, there should be no illusions that the hardest part of our journey is in front of us.” However, campaigners were disappointed by the lack of detail and his failure to include any specific targets on curbing greenhouse gases. Hu promised ‘determined action’ to slow the increase of carbon dioxide emissions by a ‘notable margin’ by 2020, while improving forest cover and enhancing ‘climate-friendly technologies’. He was careful to acknowledge that China bore a responsibility, along with the world's advanced economies, for conserving the world's environment. “Global climate change has a profound impact on our survival and development of mankind,” he said. “China stands ready to work with all countries to build a better future for all countries. This should be a win-win for developed and developing nations.” The US said the announcement was helpful but more details were needed. The speech will increase pressure on the US to agree specific targets as part of the climate change treaty. President Hu's address overshadowed President Barack Obama, who challenged the world to act swiftly to fight global warming but also failed to offer new proposals that could jump-start the negotiations for Copenhagen. “Our generation's response to this challenge will be judged by history, for if we fail to meet it — boldly, swiftly, and together — we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe,” said Obama. But his speech failed to include a single number or target for reducing emissions. European nations, which have set clearer targets for carbon reduction, have grown increasingly frustrated with Obama for not investing more political capital in the climate agenda at home. But within Europe, there are concerns that targets are not going to be met. Obama told the UN: “It is work that will not be easy. As we head towards Copenhagen, there should be no illusions that the hardest part of our journey is in front of us,” he said. “All of us will face doubts and difficulties in our own capitals as we try to reach a lasting solution to the climate challenge.” Obama has already announced a target of returning to 1990 levels of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, but critics say Washington is moving too slowly on legislation that does not go far enough. But that did not stop him putting pressure on other countries. Obama called on developing nations to accept sacrifice. “Rapidly growing developing nations that will produce nearly all the growth in global carbon emissions in the decades ahead must do their part… they need to commit to strong measures at home and agree to stand by those commitments just as the developed nations must stand behind their own.” Ban Ki-moon said the one-day climate change summit has given fresh impetus to efforts to tackle global warming. He said the momentum has shifted in favour of reaching a deal at December's crucial Copenhagen meeting, where efforts will be to replace the Kyoto agreement on greenhouse gas emissions. China's statement prompted former US vice-president Al Gore to praise their leadership. At the close of the meeting, Ban Ki-moon said: “While the summit is not the guarantee that we will get global agreement, we are certainly one step closer to that global goal today.” The “summit signals a determination of world leaders to address this challenge and reach a substantive deal in Copenhagen.” China's president said: “Developed countries should fulfil the task of emission reduction set in the Kyoto Protocol, continue to undertake substantial mid-term quantified emission reduction targets and support developing countries in countering climate change.” At the summit Japan's new prime minister, Yukio Hatoyama, pledged to reduce his country's carbon emissions by 25 per cent by 2020 compared to the 1990 level. French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, called on leaders to meet again next month ahead of the Copenhagen meeting. China and the US account for about 20 per cent of the world's greenhouse gas pollution from coal, natural gas and oil. The European Union generates 14 per cent, followed by Russia and India with five per cent each." @default.
