Brazil and France in climate deal
Brazil and France have agreed a common
position on fighting global warming
before next month's UN climate change
conference in Copenhagen.
They will pursue the goal of reducing
industrialised nations' emissions to
50% below 1990 levels by 2050.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da
Silva announced the move in Paris.
It comes days after Britain said it was
highly unlikely that a legally binding
climate treaty can be agreed this year.
