Seen from the two draft texts, the double-track system developing countries had been stick to was ensured. The emission reduction obligations in the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol Annex One countries would be formulated in the form of Upgraded Version of the Kyoto Protocol . As for the participation of non-parties to the Kyoto Protocol such as America, formulations would be made under the framework of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. These two files cover two separate discussions which reflect official efforts in these two years` negotiation while America was excluded from negotiations involved Kyoto protocol.
Article I, paragraph 3 of upgraded edition of Kyoto protocol stipulates that emission-cutting target in second promise session set by developed countries included in enclosure one be [reduce 30% to 45% on the basis of 1990", which is higher than recommended by IPCC. However, the specific date of this promise stage has not been finally determined yet. Two alternative schemes are put forward in the drafts: one time period is 2013~2018, the other 2013~2020. Besides,there is no actual number about the funds that the developed countries should support.Moreover,whether the amended convention is legally binding has not been specified in the convention.
The convention discussion draft is submitted by the special team under a long-term cooperation with the convention, which is greatly different from the previous United Nations proposal with over 200 pages. The embodiment lies in the 7-page president proposal draft about AWG-LCA laid on the negotiation table, showing a huge shrinkage in the content and reflecting an increasingly common sense of the negotiation during the recent week.
However, the draft remains unclear due to two divarications concerning the legal binding imposed on the convention and fund support. It doesn't mention in the preface that this agreement is a legally-binding document. It's very important and worrying too. AntonioHill, the senior climate adviser of Oxfam International said: "A legally binding document is required by developing countries, if no legally binding document, why should consume so much time to negotiate." The convention, to suggest manuscripts of long-term capital support, the goal market mechanism, strengthen adaptive measures and related methods, such as blank, said to keep.
At the meanwhile, a scandal broke out in 9th, December in UN climate summit. [Guardian", a British newspaper exposed a resolution draft led by western countries in 8th. This draft not only gives developed industrial countries more saying rights on the negotiations of future climate change issues but also weaken the effects United Nations should have on this problem, abandoning the carbon emission reduction principles of Kyoto Protocol. This draft therefore causes intense sissatisfaction and resistance of developing countries, because it is apparently restricting the industralization process of developing countries.
According to The Guardian, the draft resolution of "DanishText" was actually one mysterious agreement of western countries, because it was jointly drafted by several western developped industrial countries (like Britain, USA, and Demark, etc.). The draft has turned the Kyoto protocol developed countries by the regulation of emission, developing countries should not mandatory emissions, i.e. the spirit of "common but differentiated" principle. According to the draft, the greenhouse gas of per capita emission standard of developed country can as twice as developing country.
