Delegates work on climate change accord

BONN, Germany - More than 1,000 diplomats have begun working
on a new accord to control greenhouse gases, with developing
countries calling for more money and expertise to help them
fight the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming.

The 166 countries and organizations on Monday opened a two-
week meeting of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate
Change, where they are to negotiate key elements of a treaty
to succeed the 10-year-old Kyoto Protocol, which set binding
targets on industrial countries to cut emissions of carbon
dioxide and other gases believed to cause global warming.

The Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012, and delegates said a new
accord should be in place within two years to move smoothly
into a new system of controls.

Ideas raised at the preliminary meeting in Bonn will be put
before a larger meeting in December in Bali, Indonesia, when
U.N. officials hope to launch formal negotiations on a post-
Kyoto treaty.
