“Time Is Running Out” for Copenhagen Climate Change Talks
---------------------------------------------------------



About 180 nations met for UN climate talks on Monday to prepare for the
UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December. The head of the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Yvo de Boer, said
“time is running out.”

Yvo de Boer: “As you know, we have just over 115 days left until
Copenhagen, about five weeks of negotiating time. We have a very
complicated text on the table, and the challenge for this session is
going to be to narrow that text down and really try and identify the
core elements of a Copenhagen agreement.”
