STORYLINE:
The world's top producers of greenhouse gases pledged to cooperate to battle climate change on Wednesday, but could not agree on any numerical targets for reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants behind global warming.
The Group of Eight major industrial democracies on Tuesday set a goal of halving heat-trapping emissions that contribute to global warming by 2050.
On the sidelines of the G8 summit in northern Japan a US-sponsored group of 16 countries and the European Union also threw their support behind the UN-led negotiations aimed at concluding a new global warming pact by the end of next year.
The first phase of the current pact, the Kyoto Protocol, expires in 2012.
Washington has been sponsoring talks in parallel to the broader UN negotiations.
The members produce about 80 percent of the world's greenhouse gases, including the US, China and India.
