April 11th, the first round of formal negotiations toward a binding treaty to address global warming has been completed in Bonn Germany with the participation of over 100 nations. Negotiations are ongoing to build upon the Dec'09 Copenhagen Accord and change pledges within that accord to binding agreements. As it stands the Copenhagen Accord alone is widely assessed to be too weak to meet its goal of keeping global warming within a 2 degree celsius upper limit.
Work continues through this year leading up to final all party negotations in Mexico this coming December. Parties in Bonn have agreed to intensify negotations to ensure that most agreement is complete in time for the conference in Mexico.
