The United Nations says the biggest climate talks in history must deliver an ambitious, sweeping agreement
The United Nations (UN) says the biggest climate talks in history must deliver an ambitious, sweeping agreement to capitalise on pledges by countries to fight global warming.

A day before the two-week talks in the Danish capital formally begin, the UN climate chief, Yvo de Boer, points out that is up to agree on the outlines of a tougher climate deal after troubled negotiations have deepened splits between rich and poor nations.

"Never in the 17 years of climate change negotiations have so many different nations made so many firm pledges together. Almost every day countries announce new targets or plans of action to cut emissions," say de Boer.
