Catalan term or phrase: invocar l'any 2050 com la seva preocupació
the context for this is that, after failing miserably to meet the Kyoto targets, the US have said that they will halve emissions by 2050.

"Le Monde informa del rebuig dels països en desenvolupament per invocar l'any 2050 com la seva preocupació"

Any ideas, please?
