G8 accord on climate change target
Updated on 09 July 2009
Leaders of the world's biggest emitters of carbon dioxide, including Britain, have agreed to seek measures to limit global warming to 2C.
However they failed to seal a deal on reductions in greenhouse gases.
The declaration, which is the first time America, China and India have all put their names to a target for limiting climate change, came at the G8 summit in Italy which also saw agreement on renewed efforts to conclude a key global trade deal by 2010.
