Uncertainty, hope at the 11th hour of COP24 climate talks
Katowice, Poland (CNN)The UN climate talks in Poland — an attempt to save the world from disastrous levels of global warming — are sputtering toward a conclusion after two weeks of discord.
“They’re going nowhere — for Tuvalu, for small counties,” Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga of Tuvalu, an island country in the Pacific, said Friday morning. “What we have on the table is very disappointing, very frustrating. We are unhappy. We are going back on the Paris Agreement — what we agreed to three years ago. It looks like people still do not trust each other. There is a lack of confidence [and] trust on the principles of working together.”
Sopoaga said the United States alone is standing in the way of agreement.
