Doha Climate Talks

U.N. climate talks in Doha, Qatar, were unlikely to have any impact on depressed carbon markets, analysts said.

Qatar, the host country, today launched desperate measures to salvage the failing climate talks in Doha by proposing a compromise agreement that was low on ambition but kept the Kyoto Protocol and the prospect of a successor deal alive, as the talks went down to the wire.

A dispute over money clouded U.N. climate talks on Friday, as rich and poor countries sparred over funds meant to help the developing world cover the rising costs of mitigating global warming and adapting to it.

A row over who will pay for dealing with the accelerating impact of climate change soured UN debate in Doha, where a final day of haggling was expected to do nothing to curb greenhouse gas pollution.

A delegate from typhoon-hit Philippines demanded on Thursday that ministers at the United Nations climate talks put aside their political differences and take bold steps to combat global warming.

Catastrophe-hit Philippines on Thursday led a host of countries in making an emotional plea to rich nations to salvage the listless climate talks here, as civil society groups launched a scathing attack on 'deal blockers', warning that the Doha round was on the "brink of disaster."

Arab nations have failed to use U.N. talks on climate change to put forward any meaningful measures on tackling the problem in their own countries, delegates and environmental activists said on Wednesday.

UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday urged negotiators at global climate talks in Doha to show "strong political commitment" to reducing Earth-damaging greenhouse gas emissions.

UN climate negotiators bickered in Doha on Monday over cash and commitments needed to curb Earth-warming greenhouse gases, even as fresh alarm bells were rung about the perils the planet faces.

U.N. talks on a new climate pact resumed on Monday in oil and gas-rich Qatar, where negotiators from nearly 200 countries will discuss fighting global warming and helping poor nations adapt to it.

Despite mounting alarm about climate change, almost 200 nations meeting in Doha from Monday are likely to pay little more than lip service to the need to rein in rising greenhouse gas emissions.
