The Vatican was committed to getting countries aligned with the Copenhagen Accord on climate change, according to the first Vatican cable to appear on the WikiLeaks website.
The confidential cable claimed a Vatican official at the Secretariat of State would support US government "efforts to have countries associate themselves with the Copenhagen Accord by the January 31 deadline" as well as "encourage other countries discreetly to associate themselves with the Accord as opportunities arise".
The cable, dated January 21, 2010, came from the US Embassy to the Vatican and was sent to the US government's Bureau of Oceans, Environment, and Science.
