NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- World leaders embrace the idea that global climate change requires attention but differ on the best way forward, the U.N. secretary-general said in New York.
The international community at a climate-change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, early in December agreed to "take note" of an accord that relays a desire to limit global temperatures increases to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. There was no concrete agreement on how to achieve that goal, however.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in the wake of the Copenhagen conference that world leaders need to unite in order to reach a binding treaty in 2010.
"The leaders were united in purpose, but they were not united in action," Ban said in New York.
The United Nations hosts climate talks in Germany in June. World leaders resume their climate talks in Mexico City in late 2010.
The European Union, for its part, moved forward with its own initiative to curb greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent of 1990 levels by 2020. The bloc added it would increase cuts to 30 percent should a binding global environmental treaty materialize.
