KERRY-CLIMATE 2 LST

Kerry also believes that Copenhagen will come out
with a political agreement that will have mandatory reductions
that people will agree to.
"I believe it will come up with a prompt start to
those reductions at the beginning of next year or so. It will
also come up with a financing mechanism that will provide
funding to some of the less-developed countries to assist them
to be part of the solution so we can transfer technology," the
Senator said.
However, he noted that it won't be the final treaty
language.
"But a political agreement to which each of the heads
of state sign up to with a prompt beginning with transparency
and verification that is something that then is much more
easily translated into the treaty language over the course of
the next months," he said.
"In addition, if China and India and other developed
countries have stepped up with mandatory reduction targets,
that is going to help Senators and Congressmen to be able to
say okay, now we're moving down a global path," he added. PTI
