China wary on international climate goals

Published on 01 December 2007

Beijing is reluctant to set itself international targets to fight climate change without financial assistance from industrialised countries, a senior climate change official, Gao Guangsheng, said on Thursday.

Gao was speaking days ahead of talks in Bali, Indonesia, expected to launch two years of formal negotiations to extend or replace the Kyoto Protocol on global warming after 2012.

He was scathing about industrialised countries' limited efforts to help developing nations cut greenhouse gas emissions, despite commitments under the UN's convention on climate change to share clean energy technologies.
