on nick spicer thanks for joining us marathon u.n. climate talks in madrid have ended with agreement on some key points but the most contentious issues remain unresolved after more than 2 weeks ago she enters failed to deliver a firm agreement on how to handle carbon markets that's where big emitters of greenhouse gases can buy the right to pollute from countries that emit less than their quota or fair share so the delegates from also almost 200 countries pass declarations calling for and vicious climate protection targets but the critical decision on rules for regulating carbon emissions was postponed to next year. they were the longest talks to date leaving representatives exhausted with little
9:02 pm
progress made on how to limit global warming to under 2 degrees but there was agreement on one issue regretfully after all the hard work that you have and we couldn't get our to an agreement it is my sincere regret that we were not able to reach an agreement we invested a lot of energy and find a very fresh. that. at the end of the day we were not able to arrive at a final agreement observers had hoped that cup $25.00 would end with a framework for a carbon certificate scheme imposing a tax on each tonne of greenhouse gas produced a condom is an environmental activists alike say it's a critical step if the world hopes to minimize the impending climate catastrophe but a deal couldn't be reached in part due to resistance from some of the world's worst polluters like the usa china india and australia. forcing delegates to only
9:03 pm
pledge to do more to uphold the paris climate agreement. with leadership in short supply in madrid environmental activists saying it's time for the european union to step up i mean this conference in madrid is really a good point for the entire much of the on climate change and it's now up to the european union with the green deal to go ahead with a clear vision of carbon free neutral economy all eyes are now on next year's meeting in glasgow but while the world continues to drag its feet the worst predictions of climate scientists have already started to become a reality. and for more analysis on the situation i'm joined now by helen announcement from the world resources institute in washington helen thanks for joining us you just came back from madrid what's your report card on cop 25. i think if you look at the negotiations overall they really failed to deliver what
9:04 pm
we were looking for what we were expecting i think both those on the streets and what the science on the other hand there were a few small glimmers that came through at the end. and do you get the feeling overall that there is a disconnect between what we're hearing from scientists and what the negotiators are willing to talk about. absolutely the negotiations through most of the 2 weeks when it is snail's pace i'm at the end it really ramped up and they tried to get a deal what we're hearing in contrast from the science is that there urgency the tackle climate change is greater than ever in addition to that we actually have better economics compared to when the peerce agreement was struck is cheaper renewal energy costs and fall and things are easier and cheaper to do and we have not just the use of people in the streets demanding action but also a lot of major business late so that's that's really a contrast to what we saw coming out of the negotiations where there was very
9:05 pm
little delivered on the paris rules of moving forward the one small glimmer of hope was that over the last 2 days and intense negotiations they did manage to get some tax which really. urged countries to come back next year with enhanced ambition recognising the urgency and the difference we have today in terms of emissions reductions compared to where we need to go so they are urging countries to come back next year with really enhanced impression ok so a glimmer of hope a road map interesting they should say that costs are down this is more feasible economically and then for these politicians of course there's pressure from the streets so why is it still so difficult to make these big decisions and are there any countries that are more to blame here than others. well i think it is an analogy it's like our house is on fire we have a number of countries with small hose is this is the small and medium sized countries that have turned their hoses on the water hoses on full blast they're
9:06 pm
trying to put out the fire but the ones who are really missing in action or even to destruction as were the major emitters the ones that are most responsible. i think i think the challenge is what they're doing is they're standing around the house saying no you turn on your has 1st you do yours 1st so they're arguing over these sorts of things what we have seen is that there's a little bit of a break through the european union last week agreed that they would endorse going to net 0 emissions by 2015 and without endorsement they were able to step up canada has come forward with a similar commitment that has to go through parliament but i'm hoping the election able then to step up so we're starting to see some of the major emitters coming back to the table but to be frank and number of them were definitely 'd not helpful in the discussions and you know to point to us. as some of the ones that really did not help move or ok us or my question i was going to ask you to name names who are those big emitters that are not willing to come around the table thanks for that
9:07 pm
