Pessimism from EU climate-change head on new deal

09.03.2010
The new European Commissioner in charge of climate change is dampening down hopes that the world will manage to draw up a new treaty on climate change this year.

Danish minister Connie Hedegaard (pictured), who was also heavily involved in the Copenhagen climate-change summit late last year, told the Financial Times that negotiations are not progressing fast enough to allow for a treaty to be signed before the end of 2010.

Hedegaard told the FT that it would be “very difficult” to get a treaty within the next nine months.

Global governments failed to hammer out a concrete climate-change treaty at Copenhagen last year, but were holding out hopes that a final treaty could be agreed at the next global conference in Mexico in December of this year.

However, Hedegaard’s comments appear to put paid to a 2010 treaty. She indicated that this final treaty is now more likely to be pushed through at a follow-up meeting in South Africa in 2011.
