CANCUN, Mexico (Reuters) - A United Nations representative urged global airline leaders on Monday not to weaken their commitment to curbing emissions, despite a U.S. decision to exit the separate Paris climate pact.

"We need to promote implementation of this historic agreement," Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, president of the International Civil Aviation Organization, told leaders at the annual meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
