Mexico City — Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore has met with Mexico's president to discuss the importance of breaking an impasse over a new global warming pact.
The office of President Felipe Calderon says both leaders stressed the need to reach a new U.N. climate agreement at a conference in Copenhagen in December.
Those efforts have been stalled by a broad unwillingness to commit to firm emissions targets and a refusal by some developing countries to sign a deal until the West guarantees billions of dollars in financial assistance.
In its statement Tuesday, Calderon's office says Gore applauded Mexico's leadership in climate talks and its efforts to establish a global fund to help both rich and poor countries limit their carbon emissions. |
