Slow progress at climate meet
UNFCCC warns of delays
the latest round of consultations on climate change held in the German city Bonn between August 10 and 14 ended in disappointment. The 199-page negotiating text with more than 2,500 brackets was the only highlight of the meet. The lack of progress has raised concerns that finalizing a comprehensive deal in Copenhagen in December to replace the Kyoto Protocol, expiring in 2012, may be unrealistic.
The informal talks under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (unfccc) were intended to cut down the text, dubbed the brick. The text was consolidated during the talks in Bonn in June.
