El acuerdo establece un Fondo Climático global que acerca al mundo al acuerdo que no se pudo lograr en Copenhague el año pasado.
Cumbre de la ONU sobre el cambio climático, Cancún 2010
En diciembre de 2010, líderes de todo el mundo se reunieron en México para avanzar en la lucha contra el cambio climático. Un paquete de último minuto salvó la cumbre. El acuerdo establece un Fondo Climático global que, si bien se queda corto en lo relativo a las necesidades de reducción de emisiones, es el inicio del camino hacia las mismas.

The 'doughnut' - A safe and just space for humanity within planetary and social boundaries
Achieving sustainable development for nine billion people has to be high on the list of humanity’s great uncharted journeys. So here’s an idea for a global-scale compass to point us in the right direction -- the doughnut.
Who’s stressing the planet?
The rich, not the poor. Bringing everyone alive today above the social foundation need not stress planetary boundaries.
The real source of stress is excessive resource use by roughly the richest 10 percent of people in the world– backed up by the aspirations of a rapidly growing global middle class seeking to emulate those unsustainable lifestyles. Thanks to the extraordinary scale of global inequality, widespread poverty coexists with dangerous planetary stress.
What about growth?
The aim of economic development must be to bring humanity into the safe and just space, ending deprivation and keeping within safe levels of resource use. Traditional growth policies have largely failed to deliver on both accounts: far too few benefits of GDP growth have gone to people living in poverty, and far too much of GDP’s rise has been at the cost of degrading natural resources.

New Zealand Earns First Place Fossil, United States and Canada Share“Colossal Fossil”
At the final day of the United Nations climate negotiations for 2011, countries received their biggest shaming yet for blocking greater progress in the talks. With the final outcome of negotiations not yet decided, it was at least clear enough which nations had done their worst in the last day and the entire two weeks. New Zealand took the infamous 1st prize for its strongest statement yet against continuing Kyoto. But Canada earned yet another Colossal Fossil for scoring the most dirty points at these negotiations.

Let them eat carbon
Ever tried eating coal? Oxfam's stunt shows how the food we all rely on is at risk in the face of a changing climate. Instead of delivering solutions in Durban to help protect the millions of people on the front lines of the climate crisis, certain countries are standing in the way of progress at the talks.
