NUSA DUA, Indonesia (Reuters) – A 190-nation climate meeting in Bali took small steps towards a new global deal to fight global warming by 2009 on Tuesday amid disputes about how far China and India should curb rising greenhouse gas emissions.
Yvo de Boer, the U.N.’s top climate official, praised the December 3-14 meeting of 10,000 participants for progress towards a goal of launching formal talks on a long-term climate pact to succeed the U.N.’s Kyoto Protocol.
“But in this process, as in so many, the devil’s in the detail,” he cautioned in an interview with Reuters at a beach-side conference centre on the Indonesian island.
