The UN yesterday hailed “concrete progress” at week-long climate talks in Bangkok, but environmental campaigners warned much faster action was needed to combat global warming. The informal negotiations aimed to prepare for a November 26-December 7 ministerial meeting under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Doha - a stepping stone towards a worldwide emissions pact. The UNFCCC said in a statement that the talks had made “concrete progress” on key issues. “We have a fertile ground for a successful Doha,” UNFCCC executive secretary Christiana Figueres told reporters.
