Yudhoyono asks developed nations to do more to address climate change

"In global cooperation, any nation must be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Developed nations which are historically responsible for global warming must do more," he said when addressing the 13th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change here.
He said developed nations must take part in efforts to intensify the use of technology in the clean energy sector together with developing countries and increase the flow of funds to finance mitigation and adaptation programs.
Developed nations must cooperate more actively with developing countries in protecting forests by providing the latter with incentives, he said.
On the other hand, developing countries must develop themselves in a sustainable way by making the environmental sector the main stream in their development planning, he said.
"Developing countries which enjoy high economic growth must avoid industrialized countries` previous mistakes by adopting long-term low-carbon development plans," he said.
