European Union Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard said she’s pushing Qatar to adopt a green growth program before it hosts the annual round of United Nations climate treaty talks in November.
Qatar, the first member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to host the discussions aimed at limiting global warming, illustrates the scale of the challenge the world faces to cut greenhouse gases, Hedegaard said today in a phone interview. She spoke from Doha after meeting Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah.
