Copenhagen: increased support for two-degree target, but emission reductions too low

The political support for limiting the increase in global temperatures to two degrees has grown, but – as was expected – legally binding international agreements have not yet been made. China and India have agreed to an analysis of their greenhouse gas reduction efforts, financial commitments have been made (30 billion dollars in 2010-2012), and an agreement was reached on management of a fund to combat the consequences of climate change in developing countries.
