The Group of 20 4th Ministerial meeting of the Gleneagles Dialogue on Climate Change, Clean Energy and Sustainable Development concluded in Chiba on Sunday as differences between developed and developing nations on how to share greenhouse gas emissions reduction responsibilities remained unsolved.
As rich nations urged the developing world to cut carbon dioxide emissions by absolute values, the latter called on the developed countries to bear more obligations in global anti-climate change efforts.
