[Reader-list] Cancum - summary

[A. Mani]

"It would show that in fact all the disastrous formulations in the
US-driven Copenhagen Accord have been carried through and formalised
at Cancun, and will now inevitably form the basis for any new global
climate agreement arrived at in Durban next year. Much has been made
of the better atmospherics and greater transparency in Cancun compared
to Copenhagen, and therefore the big difference between the two
summits. But the clear continuity in content has prompted some radical
critics to label the recent COP 16 Summit “Cancunhagen.”  "

"For Bolivia's UN ambassador Pablo Solon, Cancún "does not represent a
step forward, it is a step backwards," because the nonbinding
commitments made to reduce emissions by around 15 percent by 2020
simply cannot stabilize temperature at the "level which is sustainable
for human life and the life of the planet.""

"On December 8, IEN spokesperson Tom Goldtooth was denied entry to the
UN forum due to his high-profile role in non-violent protests.

According to Goldtooth, Cancún's "betrayal" is "the consequence of an
ongoing U.S. diplomatic offensive of backroom deals, arm-twisting and
bribery that targeted nations in opposition to the Copenhagen
Accord.""
