Highlights COP 15 press briefing 12 December

At a joint press briefing at the halfway stage in the conference, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer and COP 15 President Connie Hedegaard stressed that while there is strong political will for an agreed outcome in Copenhagen, there is now a need for good intentions to be replaced by solutions.

Ms. Hedegaard praised the work of the Chairs of the working groups under the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol in preparing the latest draft texts that allow consultations to be more specific

Regarding the nature of the outcome, Yvo de Boer said that if Copenhagen can deliver a set of political decisions that launch immediate action and that formulate ambitious industrialized country targets as well as broad engagement by developing countries with financial support, this is something we can be proud of.
