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?

Le Monde reports developing countries' refusal to cite 2050 as their concern

Explanation:
In other words, they don't want to take 2050 as the Kyoto target year for halving emissions; it should be done long before that date.
