What after Kyoto
One hundred and fifty world leaders participated in the UN meet on climate change in New York. Excerpts from some key speakers' addresses:
Ban Ki-moon (un Secretary General): We know enough to act. What we do not have is time
P Chidambaram (Finance Minister, India): Developing countries bear an inordinate share of the burden of climate change. This is due to the emissions of developed countries
Yang Jiechi (Foreign Affairs minister, China): Developed countries should meet their emission-reduction targets; help developing countries build capacity in tackling climate change and take the lead in reducing emissions after 2012
