What is the final result of Copenhagen Climate Conference?
The meeting didn't achieve any substantive results, all of which were empty plans. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 17 held a press conference in Copenhagen, saying that under the premise that all major economies take meaningful actions to reduce emissions and ensure transparency in implementation, the United States will work with other countries to raise 1000 billion US dollars annually for developing countries to cope with climate change by 2020. This 1000 billion US dollars will be raised in various ways, including multilateral and bilateral ways, as well as other alternative financing methods, etc. The funds will be mainly used to help economically backward countries and countries vulnerable to climate change. However, Hillary did not give a positive answer to the question of how much the United States will contribute and what are the specific financing options available. She also stressed that the United States' investment commitment is conditional, that is, the emission reduction actions taken by all major economies must be transparent.

If we look at the financing plan proposed by the United States alone, we only say that the United States will raise funds together with other countries, but we have not mentioned how much money the United States will pay. Moreover, what is the financing means is not said, which shows that this proposal is quite empty. In this regard, Boehl, Executive Secretary of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, expressed the hope that the United States could clarify its share of contribution.

In addition, there are conditions attached to this American plan. In the words of Hillary Clinton, the premise is that all major economies should take meaningful actions to reduce emissions and ensure transparency in implementation. In fact, according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Bali Road Map, developed countries should take the lead in achieving total emission reduction, and developing countries' measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change depend on the effective implementation of their commitments to provide funds and technology transfer, and independent actions taken by developing countries using their own resources need not be subject to international supervision. Therefore, the premise that "major economies take meaningful emission reduction actions and ensure transparency in implementation" mentioned in this proposal of the United States is actually logically reversed, which violates the provisions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Bali Road Map. What's more, the US government has not come up with a clear emission reduction plan so far.
