BONN, Germany — A new round of climate talks ended Friday with rich and poor countries both criticizing a new text meant to pave the way toward a deal to halt global warming.
The chairwoman of a negotiating group, Margaret Mukahanana-Sangarwe, presented a compromise text on all major issues of a climate treaty that was meant to bridge differences between rich and poor nations and to become the basis for further negotiations.
However, delegates from countries, including the United States, rejected the text. Bolivian Ambassador Pablo Solon said the document favors developed countries and incorporates too much of the so-called Copenhagen Accord, a political declaration brokered by President Barack Obama.
