COP 15 president resigns

By Henry Lutaaya in Copenhagen

Connie Hedegaard, the president of Conference of Parties (COP 15) at the Copenhagen talks has resigned.

This was after ministers failed to reach agreement on two negotiation processes.

Under the Long term Cooperative Action (LCA) which includes all 193 countries, all the text remained in brackets – meaning that there has not been agreement whatsoever. In another process called Kyoto track (KP), developed countries refused to put numbers on targets to reduce emissions.
