Kim Carstensen, Leader of the WWF Global Climate Deal Initiative speaks for us about Mr De Boer’s resignation from the UNFCCC negotiation proces and the outcomes of COP15 in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009.
“Yvo de Boer has put an enormous amount of work and devoted a significant part of his life to changing attitudes towards climate change across the world. And he has succeeded. He has been a truly important guardian of a multilateral framework to reduce climate change.”
“Throughout the negotiation process Mr de Boer continuously worked to provide a platform for both rich and poor nations and tried to give them equal opportunities to express their views and speak out for their rights.”
“We are all disappointed with the results of Copenhagen, but we think Yvo de Boer did all that was possible to achieve a fair and binding
Deal. It was the lack of agreement between governments that led to the unsatisfying outcome of the COP.”
“Mr de Boer’s resignation comes at a crucial moment for the political process of climate negotiations. We are confident that the talks can continue towards a global climate agreement, and that important results can be achieved fast in many areas, including finance, adaptation, and combating deforestation. It will now be up to Yvo de Boer’s successor and the Mexican government to make it happen.”
