Governments are unlikely to agree on all the details of a new global climate change deal when they meet in Copenhagen next month, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday. While optimistic that the 192 countries will be able to reach some sort of political agreement, Ban warned it would not be the last word on a successor to the United Nations’ carbon-cutting Kyoto Protocol.
“We need the political will because if there is the political will I am sure that there is a political way that we can conclude a binding agreement in Copenhagen,” he said after talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in London. “I am reasonably optimistic that Copenhagen will be a very important milestone. At the same time, realistically speaking, we may not be able to have all the words on detailed matters.”
