Did we get a Real Deal?
"Basically I think this a none deal. What it gives us is a confirmation of the pledges that countries have given us already."

It was described as the world's most important meeting since the end of the 2nd World War.
A meeting where governments tried to agree what has to be done about our rapidly changing climate.
It took place in Copenhagen, where, over an 11 day period, a just and legally binding Climate Deal - a Real Deal - was the ideal that the vast majority of people wanted.
We didn't get it.
Like many other groups in the climate movement, WWF is currently in evaluation and planning mode.
We are working on strategies to increase the pressure on leaders, on policy solutions to close the loopholes, and on creative ideas how countries can deliver the missing gigatons for a safe climate future. This is how we are trying to contribute our part to the global effort that will eventually make us tackle the challenge and agree a solution for climate change.
We hope that everybody else is on board, driven by enthusiasm to make the low carbon future happen, rather than being discouraged by the disappointment of Copenhagen.
