Copehagen: Hours before the world leaders will arrive for the Copenhagen summit’s final day, negotiators from about 30 countries in Denmark have worked on an outline draft accord regarding the climate change.

The draft is expected to call for preventing global temperatures from going up more than 2.0 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial times.

Many world leaders have been pushing for delegates meeting in the Danish capital to limit the rise to between 1.5 and 2C.

According to scientists, such a rise would be disastrous, condemning
hundreds of millions of people to worsening drought, floods and
storms.

A long list of world leaders, including many from nations most at risk
from rising sea levels, have been pushing for delegates meeting in the
Danish capital to limit the rise to between 1.5 and 2C.

Barack Obama, the US president, is on his way to Copenhagen for the
climax of the summit on Friday.
