US, China Could Back Emissions Targets

HeadlineNov 18, 2009

The US and China say they may propose targets for emissions cuts at next month’s climate summit in Copenhagen. On Tuesday, President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao issued a joint declaration saying “an agreed outcome at Copenhagen should…include emission reduction targets of developed countries.” The Obama administration has already announced it will only reach an interim political agreement in Copenhagen while postponing a binding treaty until next year. Obama wraps up his visit to China today. The New York Times reports the White House has declined proposals for brief meetings with Chinese political activists and lawyers during Obama’s trip.
