2009July9: In a G8 summit declaration, advanced economies and developing countries agree that global temperatures should not rise more than 2C above 1900 levels. “It certainly doesn’t give you a roadmap on how you should get there but at least they’ve defined the destination,” RK Pachauri told the BBC World Service Newshour programme. Pachauri chairs the IPCC (BBC).
