According to WWF, a legally binding deal in Copenhagen still can be achieved.
“Rumors about the death of the Copenhagen deal have been greatly exaggerated,” Carstensen said. “The fight is still on and there is still a great chance for leaders to agree on a binding and ambitious deal which can save the world from devastating droughts, floods and hurricanes.”
"A 'political deal' is not going to survive the next election, recession or natural disaster. We need a strong, 'legally binding' agreement that will last longer than one parliamentary term."
“It may be tempting for some politicians to downplay expectations for an ambitious outcome but there is absolutely no justification for that.” "The majority of the world wants to see a binding outcome in Copenhagen and not end this year with an informal chat."
“There is still enough time to agree on every single detail of a climate deal. A declaration that a deal is binding would take a only a few seconds. There is no lack of time, there is lack of political
will.”
“A failure to agree on a legally binding and ambitious agreement in Copenhagen could have devastating consequences.”
