Call for action on climate change
The world must act now to curb climate change, as doing nothing will cost more long-term, UK officials have said.

British government scientist and former World Bank chief economist Nicholas Stern said pursuing alternative energy made economic and environmental sense.

He was addressing a closed-door meeting in Mexico of representatives of 20 of the world's most-polluting nations.

The two-day gathering hopes to reach agreement on ways to meet future energy demands while cutting emissions.
