Highlights of COP 15 press briefing

With the high-level segment now underway, Yvo de Boer told the press that the next 24 hours are absolutely crucial and need to be used productively. He referred to the passionate statements from world leaders for an ambitious result from Copenhagen and said he believes its possible to reach real success.

In terms of concrete progress so far, he spoke of a number of important pledges that have been made, including financial pledges, with a significant amount of money offered. Emission reduction targets have been tabled and some targets increased. There have also been real advances in areas of substance such as technology, capacity-building and reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries.

A number of issues have still to be resolved at ministerial level, and informal ministerial consultations are continuing.
