Africa Pushes for Second Kyoto

The 54-nation African Group says its minimum expectation from the COP17 climate change conference in Durban is a second commitment period to the Kyoto Protocol.

The negotiating bloc's chairperson, Tosi Mpanu-Mpanu, says that the group wants to see the Green Climate Fund up and running.

Mpanu-Mpanu states that the group wants to leave COP17 with a second commitment period to the Kyoto Protocol, one which has legally-binding dimensions, not merely political ones.
