Climate summit adjourns without agreement
December 19th, 2009 - 2:11 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Copenhagen, Dec 19 (IANS) The UN climate ummit was forced to adjourn without consensus Saturday, as four countries help up the adoption of the Copenhagen accord proposed by five countries including India.
Despite support from most countries around the world, there was no consensus on adopting the accord, due to objections from Venezuela, Bolivia, Sudan and Tuvalu.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen was forced to adjourn the final plenary session for the third time.
Britain moved the adjournment motion when it was clear that an impasse had been reached.
