Publication of a major new United Nations report on climate change is being held up by a battle between rich and developing countries over emissions targets and financial aid to vulnerable nations.
The report by hundreds of the world's top scientists was supposed to be approved by government delegations Friday at the end of a weeklong meeting in the Swiss town of Interlaken.
The report by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is meant to cap a series that digests vasts amounts of research on global warming compiled since the Paris climate accord was agreed in 2015.A summary of the report was approved early Sunday, but three sources close to the talks have told The Associated Press that there is a risk that agreement on the main text may need to be postponed to a later meeting.
At the start of the meeting UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on delegates to provide " cold, hard facts " to drive home the message that there's little time left for the world to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial times. Observers said the IPCC meetings have increasingly become politicized as the stakes for curbing global warming increase, mirroring the annual UN climate talks that usually take place at the end of the year.
