”I am glad we have managed to reach an agreement in Bali”, Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said after the UN Climate Change Conference ended today.

”I am glad we have managed to reach an agreement in Bali. The adopted roadmap is a decisive step to start negotiations on a comprehensive reduction of global emissions”, Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said after the UN Climate Change Conference ended today.

”We would have wanted a stronger and more binding language in the Bali roadmap, but what’s most important is that we now have a basis for a global agreement in Copenhagen in 2009”, Stoltenberg said.

”Work starts now. Norway will be a driving force to secure that the Copenhagen treaty will be as ambitious and comprehensive as possible”, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said.
