Vancouver’s deputy mayor confident climate deal will be reached in Paris

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Vancouver’s deputy mayor is optimistic an international deal can reached at the climate-change talks in Paris.

Andrea Reimer is looking for two major developments at the talks.

First, she wants to see all countries bring significant emissions targets to the table.

Plus, she hopes the developed world will get together to help the developing world transition to more green energy.

“So now the real question is can we get the financing package together at the global level that is needed to support emerging economies and democracies, countries that are on the front end of energy infrastructure,” she says.

“How do we take some of the wealth that we’ve been able to generate and make sure that people across the world are able to bring themselves out of poverty by having the energy that they need to power their economies without doing what we’ve done which is make it impossible potentially to live on the planet.”

She says those goals sound difficult, but they are achievable for discussion in Paris.
