Climate change, financial regulation to top G20 agenda: expert


Two very big issues at the upcoming G20 summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania scheduled from Sept 24-25 will be climate change and financial regulations, said an expert in an interview with chinadaily.com.cn last week.

Martin Walker, senior director of Global Business Council at A.T. Kearney Inc , a global management consultant firm, said there would be hot discussions on climate change at the Pittsburgh summit. But he didn't expect a complete solution in Copenhagen in December, "because I do not think the US Senate will have passed the climate change bill by then."

In the fight against climate change, " China will be part of the solution, not the problem," Walker noted.
