U.N., EU urge U.S. to explain planned greenhouse-gas emissions cuts
The U.S. should present its carbon-reduction targets before a global-warming deal is achieved at next month's meeting in Copenhagen, said officials with the U.N. and European Union. U.S. envoys have yet to introduce reduction goals in nearly two years of discussions, saying that they await the passage of an energy-and-climate measure in Congress before taking action. "I do not think that the international community will accept an instrument that lacks clarity on what the U.S. will do to reduce its emissions," said Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.
