What are countries offering on greenhouse-gas reductions?
On Sunday, South Africa said it would slow the growth of its emissions to 34 percent below the current annual growth rate by 2020 and to 42 percent by 2025, as long as international aid is forthcoming.
India has offered to improve its energy efficiency to 20 or 25 percent better than 2005 levels, provided it gets international money.
China has offered up a 40 to 45 percent efficiency improvement on 2005.
Brazil has put up actual emissions reductions of 36 to 39 percent below 1994 levels by 2020, if it gets financial help.
Mexico has promised actions through 2012 that put it on track to reduce emissions by 50 percent by 2050, but anything after 2012 is contingent on international aid.
