The Cancun Agreement - Success or failure for international climate protection?

[Mika Huettner]

Hey Folks,

Reading about this years climate conference in Cancun, Mexico, I was wondering how you judge the outcome of this meeting. Most of the media and NGO have been quite optimistic about the progress made in the international climate negotiations. However, I am still hesitant to join in the praise, since a lot of stuff is still unresolved.

Here are some links related to it:

Please discuss here, how you see the outcome of Cancun - Success or failure?
