UN climate chief Yvo de Boer said today that all three US presidential candidates pointed to a major change in US policies on global warming.
Yvo de Boer, the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) said "All three presidential candidates have recognised the importance of climate change; want to act on climate change; want to develop a strong domestic policy approach; seem to favour a policy approach that goes in the direction of a cap-and-trade regime which would mesh very well with the direction in which other industrialised countries want to go; and seem to favour an international approach to climate change," de Boer said in Paris.
"So, in other words, whoever wins the presidential elections, I think that we will see a pro-active, international, market-based approach to climate change in the United States, founded on solid domestic policy."
