National Radio: Petko Kovachev does not expect a joint document to be signed in Copenhagen

The director of Green Policy Institute, Petko Kovachev, expects that there will be no agreed document ready for signatures by the world leaders during the Copenhagen Climate Summit. Kovachev made this forecast in “Saturday 150” live of “Horizont”, Bulgarian National Radio.

Nevertheless, according to him, the Summit will be successful if an agreement on concrete significant goals, such us GHG emmissions' reduction and deforestation would be reached.

“Actually this is the main goal of the EU – to reach exactly these binding engagements and to make clear the deadline within which the document that would replace Kyoto protocol would be ready. At the end of the day we must have a ratyfied document before Kyoto protocol expire”, Kovachev explained.
