SYDNEY, Australia — Papua New Guinea on Thursday declared a boycott of next month's UN climate summit, branding the global warming negotiations a 'waste of time' full of empty promises from big polluters.While plenty have criticized the annual COP summit in the past, it is rare for any government to so totally dismiss the UN's premier climate talks.
Civil society groups banded together last year to urge a boycott of the COP summit hosted by the United Arab Emirates, claiming the meeting would 'greenwash' the petrostate's poor climate credentials.Underwhelmed by proposed emissions cuts, dozens of African nations led a temporary walkout of developing nations during the 2009 COP talks in Copenhagen.And Ukraine has pressed its allies to avoid this year's summit if Russian leader Vladimir Putin shows face.
