Belarus, one of three fossil-fuel reliant states outmanoeuvred at Kyoto pact talks by small island states endangered by climate change, said it may consider quitting the process and Ukraine and Kazakhstan may do the same. An official with the Belarus delegation said he would recommend that Minsk now abandon the treaty, just 48 hours after it was extended. “I will probably suggest the Ministry of Environment in forthcoming meetings to withdraw the letter of consent given in Doha for the country to join Kyoto 2 and not ratify the treaty. Ukraine and Kazakhstan may do the same,” said Alexandre Grebenkov, who works for the U.N. Development Program and negotiates on behalf of Belarus.
