Mr. Malcolm Bruce: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment she has made of the impact of the US
President's decision not to ratify the Kyoto protocol on sustainable development in developing countries. [157671]
Clare Short: Climate change is a global problem which needs a global agreement. The UK believes that the Kyoto protocol provides the
only framework for this. Developing countries are the most affected by climate change. We therefore believe that their best
interests would be served by continuing to pursue our aim of ratification and entry into force of the Kyoto protocol by 2002, so as
to start to deliver emissions reductions by developed countries. We will of course continue to encourage the US to engage in global
efforts to tackle climate change and to take domestic action to reduce its emissions.
