U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was ‘disappointed’ after the COP25 talks ended with only a declaration on the ‘urgent need’ to close the gap between emissions pledges and the temperature goals of the Paris climate agreement
MADRID - A handful of major states resisted pressure on Sunday to ramp up efforts to combat global warming as a U.N. climate summit ground to a close, angering smaller countries and a growing protest movement that is pushing for emergency action.
Many developing countries and campaigners had wanted to see much more explicit language spelling out the importance of countries submitting bolder pledges on emissions as the Paris process enters a crucial implementation phase next year. The Madrid summit had been due to end at the two-week mark on Friday but ran on for two extra days - a long delay even by the standards of often torturous climate summits.
