Talks in Washington Today, Could Set the Tone for Next Week's Important International Meetings. By Marlowe Hood, AFP, September 16, 2009. "Key meetings unfolding in Washington, New York and Pittsburgh in the coming week may determine whether a two-year effort to combat climate change will triumph or be written off as a flop of historic dimensions... Pressure is mounting for a breakthrough [in the pre-Copenhagen talks] in what has been dubbed 'Climate Week,' which kicks off in Washington on Thursday [today] and Friday with a ministerial-level gathering of the world's 17 largest carbon polluters. Next Tuesday, UN chief Ban Ki-moon will host a climate summit in New York, to be followed by a two-day G-20 summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 24-25. In the corridors, bilateral talks and haggling among blocs of nations will help shape the Copenhagen denouement." White House Wants Fuel Subsidy Cuts on G-20 Agenda.
