Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.


Copenhagen Climate Change Conference

No one set out for Copenhagen looking for an accord between 40-odd countries, so it is more than disappointment—Copenhagen is a failure, and the Secretary of State should not understate that. Does he agree that the opprobrium visited on China in the negotiations may be unfair and that the United States remains, if anything, the primary barrier to a global deal? What steps does he think can be taken to engage the United States more effectively if we are to see a global agreement?
