Little hope from Copenhagen climate summit?
Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) R.K. Pachauri on Monday said he does not have much hope from next month's climate summit in Copenhagen.
"The kind of agreement that we were hoping for from the summit in Copenhagen seems to have diminished," Pachauri, also the director general of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), a think tank based in New Delhi, said on the sidelines of a conference on urban development.
