Conclusion 1

After eight draft texts and all-day talks between 115 world leaders, itwas left to Barack Obama and Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, tobroker a political agreement. The so-called Copenhagen accord"recognises" the scientific case for keeping temperature rises to nomore than 2C but does not contain commitments to emissionsreductions to achieve that goal.

American officials spun the deal as a "meaningful agreement", buteven Obama said: "This progress is not enough."

"We have come a long way, but we have much further to go," headded.

The deal was brokered between China, South Africa, India, Braziland the US, but it was unclear whether it would be adopted by all192 countries in the full plenary session. The deal aims to provide$30bn a year for poor countries to adapt to climate change fromnext year to 2012, and $100bn a year by 2020.

CONCLUSION 2

.

But it disappointed African and other vulnerable countries whichhad been holding out for deeper emission cuts to hold the globaltemperature rise to 1.5C this century. As widely expected, allreferences to 1.5C in past drafts were removed at the last minute,but more surprisingly, the earlier 2050 goal of reducing global

CO2emissions by 80% was also dropped. Obama hinted that China was to blame for the lack of a substantial

deal. In a press conference he condemned the insistence of somecountries to look backwards to previous environmental agreements.He said developing countries should be "getting out of that mindset,and moving towards the position where everybody recognises thatwe all need to move together".

its legal distinction between developed and developing countries.Developing nations saw this as an attempt by the rich world to wriggleout of its responsibility for climate change. Many observers blamed USfor coming to the talks with an offer of just 4% emissions cuts on 1990levels.

THUS Low targets, goals dropped: Copenhagen ends in failure.
