A leaked draft of the G20 communique indicates that international development and climate change have seized a large part of the group's agenda. This is apparently happening despite Prime Minister Stephen Harper's hopes of limiting the summit discussions to the global economy. The June 11 draft shows the G20 countries want to fight the underlying causes of the recent financial crisis and work together on tougher banking regulations. But the commitments are vague, and brackets suggest many details are yet to be worked out as negotiators meet tonight and Thursday in advance of the weekend summit in Toronto. The three-page draft dedicates two full paragraphs to climate change, committing countries to investing in green technology and doing whatever they can to boost international talks for a climate- change pact in Mexico at the end of this year.
