    UN Chief Calls on US to Lead Global Response to Climate Change(2/2)

    The U.N. chief said the world needs "a more coherent system of international environmental governance" to meet the challenge. He pointed to the world body as the natural choice for creating such a system.

    "These issues transcend borders. That is why protecting the world's environment is largely beyond the capacity of individual countries. Only concerted and coordinated international action - supported and sustained by individual initiative - will be sufficient. The natural arena for such action is the United Nations."

    The chief U.S. climate negotiator this week said the United States remains committed to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. Negotiator Harlan Watson said even though the United States has not signed the Kyoto Protocol to the Framework agreement, and even though emerging economic giants such as India and China are exempt from its requirements, all three are working to cut harmful carbon emissions.

    Watson defended the Bush administration's decision to stay out of the Kyoto regime, arguing that its requirements would cost an estimated $400 million a year and result in the loss of nearly five million U.S. jobs.
