Copenhagen accord passes first hurdle Canwest News ServiceFebruary 2, 2010 The climate change accord reached at Copenhagen in December passed its first test on Monday after countries responsible for the bulk of climate-altering pollution formally submitted their emissions reductions plans, meeting the agreement's Jan. 31 deadline. Most major nations -- including the United States, the 27 nations of the European Union, China, India, Japan and Brazil -- restated earlier pledges to curb emissions by 2020, some by promising absolute cuts, others by reducing the rate of increase from a business-as-usual curve. In all, 55 developed and developing countries submitted emissions reduction plans to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the body overseeing global negotiations. © Copyright (c) The Edmonton Journal
