Delegates at UN-Led Talks Agree on Climate "Roadmap"
(15 Dec 07-RV) Delegates at U.N.-led climate talks in Bali agreed today to a "roadmap"
for talks to adopt a new treaty to succeed Kyoto at a meeting in Copenhagen in 2009.
The deal was greeted with applause after the United States dropped its opposition
at the last minute. Nick Nuttall, spokesman for the UN environment programme, spoke
to us from Bali shortly after the deal was struck. He said failure to reach an agreement
would have been unthinkable.
