Britain's Trade and Development Minister Gareth Thomas has said that developing countries will need targets for greenhouse gas emissions.
Rich nations had to lead emissions cuts, he said, but developing countries such as China should have targets too.
Mr Thomas also told BBC News that too little money was available to help poor countries prepare for climate impacts.
Britain will next week launch a major international study to identify the best ways to fund climate adaptation.
I frankly think every developing country has to have clear targets
Gareth Thomas
The minister was speaking to the BBC as representatives of more than 180 countries met in Bali for this year's round of UN climate negotiations.
Britain and its European allies hope the Bali meeting will begin a process that will lead to a further international set of binding targets for emissions cuts to take effect when the current Kyoto Protocol targets expire in 2012.
