Countries remain deadlocked in U.N. talks over combating climate change that have dragged on beyond the official deadline. Many nations and observers say the latest proposals risk backtracking on commitments made in the 2015 Paris climate accord.
A visitor rests at the COP25 climate talks congress in Madrid, Spain, Saturday, Dec. 14, 2019. The United Nations Secretary-General has warned that failure to tackle global warming could result in economic disaster.
Later Saturday, Chilean diplomat Andrés Landerretche told reporters that a fresh compromise would be circulated Saturday afternoon, but insisted that there would have to be trade-offs if there was to be a deal supported by all countries.Asked whether some decisions might be postponed until next year, Landerretche said: “We don’t foresee any suspension. We are working with a view toward finishing our work today.
Growing concern about climate change has been reflected in mass protests staged around the world over the past year, often by young activists concerned about the future they and their children might face as the planet heats up. Senior European officials, including ministers from Spain, Germany and the EU’s top climate official, Frans Timmermans, were engaged in last-minute negotiations to prevent the talks from collapsing.
“We don’t support such language and we would not think that it would lead to the balance of this text, but rather take us quite far in the other direction.”
