Head of UNEP Call on World Leaders to Get Back on Road to Copenhagen at NYC U.N. Summit on September 22. By Alister Doyle, Reuters, September 10, 2009. "Achim Steiner, head of the U.N. Environment Program, told the Reuters Global Climate and Alternative Energy Summit that a one-day climate summit at U.N. headquarters on September 22 was a chance to show world leaders that 'there is a high risk that a deal will not emerge from Copenhagen' unless they get more involved in spurring the negotiations... Recriminations between rich and poor nations about how to share out curbs on greenhouse gas emissions, and scant aid from recession-hit rich nations, mean the world is far from a deal. A draft treaty is an unmanageable 200 pages long."
