BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil reiterated its opposition on Wednesday to imposing targets on developing countries’ carbon emissions, days before a major international conference on climate change.

“We are not in favor of targets,” Sergio Serra, a foreign ministry expert on climate change, told a news conference in the capital Brasilia.
