Britain will strongly recommend 30% reduction targets

End of the year will be held in Cancun, Mexico, the climate change conference, the UK will insist on promoting the year 2020 to reduce carbon dioxide emissions below 1990 target of 30%, the UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary Geoff Hoon (Chris Huhne) 9 23 in Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) at the theme of climate change conference on Wednesday.
"For too long, the British Government did not dare look directly at the developing countries, requiring them to make more active efforts to reduce emissions." Hoon said. This is perhaps the UK will be tougher at CancĂșn signal.
Currently the EU has agreed emission reduction targets of 20%. Last December in Copenhagen, Denmark before the meeting on climate change, the EU was intended to increase to 30% emission reduction targets, provided that if the other world powers have also made a corresponding reduction commitments. However, differences emerged in Copenhagen, the EU did not upgrade the final 20% of the emission reduction targets.
In fact, the emission reduction targets within the EU is not "a game of chess." Poland in Copenhagen last year prior to the meeting said the EU emission reduction targets can not be improved at once, we must first make the appropriate impact analysis. Poland is the EU's coal power. Italy is also opposed to raising the emission reduction targets in the world.
