Kerry Appeals To All To Share Burden Of Climate Change
"The same would be true if China or India came down to zero emissions, if either was the only country to act. It's just not enough for one country or even a few countries to reduce emissions when other countries continue to fill the atmosphere with carbon pollution as they see fit," he added.
Developed nations have to play a major role in cutting emissions, "but that doesn't mean that other nations are just free to go off and repeat the mistakes of the past" by not having environmentally-friendly energy policies and investment, he said.
He said if the U.S drastically cut emissions on its own, it would still not be enough to save the planet from warming to 2 degrees Celsius because "it's the net amount of carbon that matters, not each country's share."
"The solution to climate change is energy policy," Kerry said while calling for a focus on renewable energy.
He urged big greenhouse gas emitters to follow the examples of China and the U.S, saying the two "leaders of opposing camps" in the climate talks have come to an agreement, which should send a message to other countries that the "roadblocks" to a Paris 2015 agreement can be removed.
The climate talks are aiming to establish the draft text of a new international climate change agreement to be signed by all countries at the next major talks in Paris in 2015.
