Chinese negotiators at UN talks in Paris are being accused of trying to weaken the new global climate accord due to be finalised by Friday. "It is very frustrating," said one negotiator from a developed country after a meeting where he said Chinese officials had tried to water down efforts to create a common system for the way countries report to the UN on their carbon dioxide emissions and climate change plans. China is supporting a general stocktaking review of countries' pledges every five years but wants any updating of the carbon dioxide emissions reduction targets contained in these plans to be voluntary, this envoy said. --Pilita Clark, Financial Times, 9 December 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_ft-2.jpg
