Mr Cameron said he was clear that Britain would meet its international obligations and stressed he would continue to make the case for a “global, comprehensive and legally-binding climate agreement”.
He said:
The Cancun agreement is a very significant step forward in renewing the determination of the international community to tackle climate change through multilateral action.
This morning I spoke to Chris Huhne to congratulate him and the entire UK team on the successful conclusion of these negotiations.
I also pay tribute to President Calderon of Mexico for the tremendous skill he has shown in bridging the gaps and producing a consensus outcome.
Now the world must deliver on its promises. There is more hard work to be done ahead of the climate change conference in South Africa next year.
I am clear that Britain will meet its international obligations. This will be the greenest ever British Government. And I will continue to make the case for a global, comprehensive and legally-binding climate agreement.
