UNFCCC executive secretary walks of plenary meeting

The UNFCCC conference was initially scheduled to be closed on Friday but an agreement was reached to extend it until 10 am on Saturday. However,on Saturday morning, there was a consensus to push the closing further backward to Saturday afternoon because India and China had rejected a point in the draft on emissions-cutting targets.They argued that developed nations which had become gas emitters long before developing nations should agree to cut their emissions to a greater extent than developing countries.
India wanted the final text of the draft reviewed to allow developed nations to play a greater role in clean technology and funding for parties vulnerable the impact of global warming.
Conference sources said de Boer had walked out because he was upset that certain delegations had held a `secret meeting` without his consent as UNFCCC executive secretary.
But there was no information on which delegations had held the secret meeting
