Deforestation conference to turn plans to action
Nicolas Sarkozy, the president of France, called for United Nations reform and ripped the international organization's efforts to enact climate change during a one-day conference on deforestation held Thursday in Paris.Sarkozy called last December's Copenhagen summit on climate change "an example of bad management," according to a March 11, 2010 AFP article.The French president called the original draft of a treaty to control carbon emissions "volapuk" or nonsense language, and called the outcome of the negotiations, which was a nonbinding agreement that promised to limit warming but offered to suggestions on how to accomplish that goal, "frustrating."He also called upon wealthier nations to offer more money to help fight deforestation while also calling for private sector companies to contribute funds to the effort as well.
