U.K.
Prime
Minister Gordon Brown said Wednesday he was under no illusions about how
difficult climate negotiations in
Copenhagen
are,
but is upbeat about reaching a deal.
Brown, who came a day early to
Copenhagen
to
try to help break a deadlock in the talks, said there had been movement behind
the scenes, a
Downing Street
spokesman said.
Brown also said he saw a way through, although he didn't elaborate what that
was.
At the summit, the
U.K.
PM
met with U.S. Senator John Kerry, co-author of a key climate bill in the
senate. Brown also met with leaders of island states, who are already being hit
by climate change, and forestry states.
He is due to attend an EU-Africa meeting as well as meet with
Brazil
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva later Wednesday, the spokesman said.
Over 100 leaders are arriving in
Copenhagen
over
the next 48 hours hoping to seal a deal. But governments remain deadlocked on
key issues, including the size of emission targets, finance, and verification
of emission curbs.
