Disparate Agendas Slow UN Carbon Efforts

Appearing in Carbon Finance, Andrei Marcu in, “UN Claims Talks Progress, Despite Finance, Targets Impasse,” comments on the lack of clarity in the UN talks. “Everyone has thrown everything but the kitchen sink in there…It will now be a challenging job in August.”  He cites a major problem being the duplication in effort made by having the AWG-LCA and the AWG-KP running concurrently as, “people want to make sure everything is everywhere,” especially since there is a lack of clarity as to when the two tracks will merge.
