On Monday UN climate chief Yvo de Boer urged EU nations to offer financial help to growing polluters such as China and India over climate change policy, to help secure a global deal next year. 

de Boer claimed that despite ”significant movement in the U.S. position” especially concerning future carbon binding regulations, and the leadership the EU has shown in committing to 20% reductions in GHGs from 1990 levels, the bigger picture includes large developing economies such as China, India, and Brazil.

Like everyone else, de Boer hopes that the details of a post Kyoto arrangement can be agreed upon in Copenhagen in late 2009.
