According to recent reports, it has been revealed that the mutual consensus of developing countries states that the results of UN climate talks unfolds to whether or not the two-tiered scheme of rich and poor nation should remain as it is.
On the other hand, there are possibilities that all the countries should receive equal treatment.
The two-week conference on climate talks will be entering the final segment before its scheduled closure this Friday.
Industrial nations are soliciting revision of the 20-year-old segment that has led to the creation of two levels of accountability: rich nations are bound to reduce the emissions of carbon as part of the law, while on the other hand; developing nations are free to adopt voluntary measures and course of actions.
While expressing his opinion regarding the two-sided system prevailing in terms of climatic regulations and procedures all over the world, Sylvia Merega, the Argentine ambassador claimed in his Thursday speech, which was virtually on behalf of as many as 132 nations of the world, that the attempt of revision in terms of the regimen is somewhat an understated issue of the ongoing conference, and he further added that, "I don't know how it will be resolved".
Economic disaster and the three of the world's topmost polluters, namely China, the US and India, were looming as a hurdle to a novel international agreement at the time when the second make-or-break week was started for the UN climate talks. The conference is being hosted by the city of Durban, South Africa.
Following an initial first-week of debates, serious uncertainties are hanging over the prospect of the Kyoto Protocol, whose initial commitment tenure on combating climate alterations is due to expire at the end of 2012.
