Global deal must include emerging economies: Obama
[NEW YORK] US President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that a new global agreement on climate change must include strong commitments from emerging economies and move past the rich-poor country divide that has hampered progress in United Nations negotiations.
Mr Obama addressed the UN climate change summit with a statement meant to build political momentum for a global deal on climate change in 2015 and a list of commitments that his administration has made to address.
He said that a "global compact" needs to include strong commitments from some of the world's emerging economies because the amount of greenhouse gases that they emit increases as their economies grow.
