WASHINGTON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush on Friday called for a "strong and transparent" way for nations to measure progress on fighting climate change but said that each country should set its own approach.

In a speech to a U.S.-sponsored conference of major emitting countries, Bush also called for the creation of a global fund to promote clean technology.

A long-term goal for reducing global warming was needed, Bush said, but added "each nation will design its own separate strategies for making progress toward achieving this."
