UN: Don't leave tough climate issues to leaders - COP15 United Nations Climate Change Conference Copenhagen 2009


Ban appealed to negotiators to redouble their efforts, stop posturing or blaming others, and reach a compromise.

He told reporters Monday before flying to Copenhagen that he is reasonably optimistic the UN conference will end with a politically binding deal that is fair, comprehensive and equitable.

Ban said there is strong support among the 192 UN member states for 10 billion US dollars in fast-track, short-term funding to help developing countries deal with climate change starting in 2010.

He said he will be urging agreement on longer-term and a larger financial support package up to 2020 and beyond to help developing nations cope with global warming.
