Our aim there is not a partial accord or a political declaration, but rather an accord that covers all of the issues in the negotiations, and one that has immediate operational effect (US President Barack Obama)

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has recommended that the rich world cuts emission by 25 to 40 per cent by 2020 while poor nations reduce pollution against "business as usual". The rich countries are also expected to put forward billions of pounds every year to help poor countries cut carbon emissions and adapt to climate change.

Will this agreement, according to the IPCC recommendation, including numerical midterm targets and clear commitments on finance, be signed into a legal treaty at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen?
