In the Danish capital, Copenhagen, December 10, ice sculptures are making ice sculptures "Marcel fighters" outside the climate change conference. In the Danish capital, Copenhagen, December 10, ice sculptures are making ice sculptures "Marcel fighters" outside the climate change conference. The original ice sculptures were taken from the Bosnian Serbs, who are being severely affected by climate change, and severe droughts are destroying the livelihoods of Masai. The 3-metre-tall "male warrior", carved by 4 tons of ice, and the "female warrior" in the arms of a baby are presented to the public and will fade away to reflect the dangers of climate change. The basic framework of the Copenhagen Conference emerged after nearly a week of haggling, Xinhua news agency journalist She Shudong.　　Yesterday morning, our correspondent from the General Assembly to be marked as the December 11 version of the Kyoto Protocol updated version and the UN Climate Framework Convention proposals, two of documents are submitted to the General Assembly for discussion by the UNFCCC secretariat, reflecting the results of nearly a week of negotiations. Viewed from two draft texts, developing countries ' adherence to the two-track system has been confirmed, the Kyoto Protocol Annex I countries in the second commitment period of the emission reduction obligations will be in the form of an updated version of the Kyoto Protocol, and the United States and other non-Kyoto Protocol parties, such as the participation of countries will be under the framework of climate change The two documents cover two separate negotiations, reflecting the results of official discussions over the past two years.　　The Kyoto Protocol does not include the United States. No mention of financial support number 2nd more positively, developed countries are more aggressive in reducing emissions than expected, as the first article of the updated version of the Kyoto Protocol stipulates that developed countries in annex I will reduce 30%~45% in the second commitment period, which is 25% higher than the IPCC recommended.　　However, the specific date for the second commitment period was still not finalized, and the draft text proposed two options, one for 2013-2018 years and another for 2013-2020 years. However, the draft text still did not set specific figures for the financial support that developed countries should provide.　　Moreover, the amended Convention is legally binding and the Convention is not clear. The draft convention was submitted by the Ad Hoc Working Group on long-term Cooperative action under the Convention, unlike the 200-page United Nations proposal that had preceded it, the "Draft proposal on AWG-LCA chairman", which appeared on the table of negotiators yesterday, had a short 7-page version, which had been greatly curtailed,　　The consensus has been growing over the last week of negotiations. Not legally binding However, the draft is still unclear as to the legal binding and financial support of the Convention. The preamble of the draft does not mention that the agreement will be "legally binding". "This is very important and very worrying. "A legally binding document is exactly the same," said Antonio Hill, an international senior climate adviser at Oxfam.Why would it take so much time to negotiate if a legally binding document was not reached, as requested by developing countries? "In the draft Convention proposal, the objective of long-term financial support, market trading mechanism, measures to enhance adaptability and related methods, etc., are left blank, expressed to be described." The form and authority of the governing body supporting the funds are still uncertain. (Author: Ying, Fangliping, Wu Yu)
