APEC Energy Ministers to Discuss Carbon Emissions

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation energy ministers will next week discuss carbon emissions as they seek to improve energy security while reducing environmental effects, an Australian minister said.

The talks by energy ministers from 21 APEC nations, including the U.S. and China, will feed into the leaders meeting in Sydney in September, Australian Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane said today. APEC nations, which include the U.S. and China, are responsible for 60 percent of global energy demand.
