ROVANIEMI, Finland - The United States has refused to sign an agreement on challenges in the Arctic due to discrepancies over climate change wording, diplomats said on Tuesday, jeopardizing cooperation in the polar region at the sharp edge of global warming.
A meeting of nations bordering the Arctic in Rovaniemi in northern Finland on Tuesday was supposed to frame a two-year agenda to balance the challenges of climate change with sustainable development of mineral wealth. It was the first time a declaration had been canceled since the Arctic Council was formed in 1996. The U.S. delegation could not immediately be reached for a comment.
