CLIMATE CHANGE: ‘Copenhagen Accord Not Legal, Kyoto Protocol Is’

NEW DELHI, Jan 26 (IPS) - While the BASIC bloc countries - Brazil, South
Africa, India and China - will
submit their plans for voluntary
mitigation actions by the Jan. 31 deadline
stipulated by the
Copenhagen Accord, they have taken care to emphasise that
the
agreement, reached at the end of the December climate change
summit in
the Danish capital, has no legal basis.
