Costa Rica: Developed Nations Must Cut
Emissions
(AP) — Costa Rican officials are asking
developed nations to reduce emissions by 45
percent by 2020. Costa Rican Environmental
Minister Jorge Rodriguez says the country's
proposal for next week's international
climate change summit also calls for greater
financial support to poorer nations.
Rodriguez told reporters Tuesday that Costa
Rica's proposal includes increased
protection of forests and a goal of reducing
emissions by 95 percent from their 1990
levels by 2050.
Last week China announced it would cut
carbon emissions by 40 percent to 45 percent
by 2020, compared with levels in 2005. |
