US, allies roasted as UN climate talks end in Bangkok | Bangkok Post: news


(AFP photo)BANGKOK: Developing countries rounded on the United States and its allies at emergency climate talks Sunday, accusing the world's richest nations of stalling a deal aimed at preventing runaway global warming. But talks have foundered over the key issue of how efforts to limit climate change are funded and how contributions are reported. "Yet, we face devastating climate impacts and some of us could be lost forever to rising seas" without progress on the Paris deal by the end of the year, he added. - Paris deal 'on brink' -The Bangkok talks were organised as an emergency negotiating session after little progress was made at previous rounds towards a final rulebook. The US under President Donald Trump will leave the Paris process in 2020, but multiple delegates in Bangkok told AFP that it was still actively hindering progress in talks.
