It has put the country in breach of a promise to cut its emissions by 6% from their 1990 level in accordance with the Kyoto protocol, an international treaty. On December 12th Peter Kent, the environment minister, announced that Canada was pulling out of the protocol, becoming the first country to do so. This came hours after he had returned from a UN climate conference in Durban that had renewed Kyoto (which requires emissions-cuts only by rich-country signatories) while also agreeing to start talks on a new global pact that will have legal force. Mr Kent's announcement dismayed Christiana Figueres, the UN's climate negotiator. It also attracted criticism from China, which in Durban had for the first time seemed to accept that developing countries should also be bound by international emissions rules. Canada, it said, was undermining this global effort. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
