Draft Agreement will be ready for Paris, assure UN Officials

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is quite concerned about the pace at which negotiations are taking place to have a new global deal in December. In fact, many delegates have raised same concerns at the meeting in Germany. But there are some who have said that even if the pace is slow then also a draft agreement will be ready for Paris.

Ahmed Djoghlaf, one of the men tasked with drafting a new document, was present in Bonn, where he along with fellow co-chair of the talks, Dan Reifsnyder, have been assigned to prepare a draft agreement to be present to nations to negotiate over in Paris in December.

Ahmed said a lot of work is going on. It is very difficult to for someone who is living on 38th floor that what is going on in the basement. In June, they have completed their first target, which was to gather all the positions developed over the last three years.

The document will be divided into three parts. The first one is a legally binding document, which will define and set long-term goals with regard to climate change. The second parts of decision of COP and the last is the bits that no-one could agree on.

Matthias Soderberg, of the ACT Alliance of campaigners, among many others have been quite critical at the pace of preparations. But co-chairs have rejected these complaints.
