MADRID – U-N climate talks have ended in Madrid with little to show for two weeks of negotiations.
Representatives of almost 200 countries have postponed until next year a key decision on how to regulate global carbon markets. Instead, they passed declarations calling for greater ambition in cutting planet-heating greenhouse gases and in helping poor countries that are suffering the effects of climate change.
The European Union and Canada have been two of the few large emitters to show ambition by adopting plans to become carbon neutral by mid-century, but activists said that their leadership failed to resonate among others.
