联合国国际气候会议在墨西哥的坎昆已经举行了有些时日了,终于在一系列的磋商之后大家基本达成了一项协议,那么这项协议究竟有什么内容呢?

A comprehensive global deal is now back ontrack after the agreement, which was reacheddespite protests by Bolivia during a dramatic finaleto the United Nations meeting in Mexico.

The crunch talks went late into the night as morethan 190 countries attempted to agree on the bestway to cut carbon emissions.

The last attempt to reach a global deal in Copenhagen at the end of last year ended inchaos and there were fears that the UN process could collapse completely if talks failed again.

However, after two weeks of negotiating, rich and poor countries agreed a compromisethat will see all countries committed to cutting emissions for the first time.

The "Cancun package" also sets up a "green fund" to help poor countries cope with climatechange and a new scheme to halt dorestation.

Bolivia claimed the agreement was "tantamount to genocide" because cuts are not toughenough to stop dangerous global warming.

But after repeated attempts to achieve consensus, the UN decision was taken withoutthe agreement of the South American country.

To cheers from the ministers, Patricia Espinosa, Mexican foreign secretary and president ofthe talks, overruled the Bolivian negotiator who repeatedly took the floor and insisted the dealneeded complete consensus.

"I of course note your position, but if there are no other objections, the document isadopted," she said to thunderous applause.

Felipe Calderón, the president of Mexico, said it was a historic agreement.

He said the world has been "crushed by inertia and helplessness" in the face of climatechange.

But he said that the deal in Cancun would restore hope in the UN process and the fightagainst climate change.

"Confidence is back, hope has returned to the fight against climate change and in manyother matters that require hope and trust in the face of our global problems," he said.

The new deal falls short of a global treaty. However it has progressed from Copenhagenby getting all countries, except Bolivia, to sign up to an official UN document.

The Cancun deal commits all countries to keeping temperature rise below 2C (3.6F) byreducing emissions. Rich countries have agreed to consider an extension of the Kyoto Protocolwhile poor countries will sign up to emission cuts for the first time. There are also a series ofkey decisions on setting up a green fund to help poor countries cope with climate change andhalting dorestation.

Chris Huhne, the Climate Change and Energy Secretary, said the proposals did not giveeverybody everything they wanted but it was progress.

"We've made much more progress than anybody expected only weeks," he said.

"We have real commitments to reductions of greenhouse gases both by developed anddeveloping countries."
