Half-time Score and Analysis
13 December 2009
Copenhagen has already secured a place in the record books for numbers of delegates, journalists and observers. Next week another record will fall, when over 130 heads of state and government join the COP. While they will no doubt deliver worthy statements about saving the planet in the high level segment on Wednesday, will they deliver a record deal next Saturday morning? At the halfway mark in the climate negotiations, we assess whether the emissions targets pledged so far are ambitious enough to put the world on a low carbon pathway, and we set out what we see as the essential components of a successful global deal.
