Paris. The presidents of France and Indonesia say representatives at the UN climate talks must provide adequate funding for a plan to reduce emissions from deforestation.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his Indonesian counterpart, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, said in a joint statement they are working hard toward an “ambitious agreement” in Copenhagen. They met on Monday in Paris.
France supports a plan for fighting deforestation at the talks. The issue is important for Indonesia because it is home to 10 percent of the world’s rain forests.
A proposal to save tropical forests — and reduce emissions in the process — suffered a setback this weekend when climate negotiators dropped plans for faster action on the problem because of financing concerns.
