During the UN climate conference in Copenhagen the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has to answer a number of important questions:
1. How much are the industrialized countries willing to reduce their emissions of
greenhouse gases?
2. How much are major developing countries such as China and India willing to
do to limit the growth of their emissions?
3. How is the help needed by developing countries to engage in reducing their emissions
and adapting to the impacts of climate change going to be financed?
4. How is the money going to be managed?
