Brazil is honored to have been a part of this successful effort in Cancun to bring new global momentum to fighting climate change. The hard work of all participants at COP-16 has demonstrated that a multilateral approach can succeed when there is transparency, inclusiveness and compromise.
After many years of effort and two intense weeks of negotiations, Brazil is particularly pleased that the international community could find a solution to the deep rifts on a second commitment phase of the Kyoto Protocol. It was our distinct honor to work in partnership with the United Kingdom to co-chair negotiations on this contentious issue at the request of the Mexican presidency. We believe that the Protocol is the essential key to making a meaning full impact on climate change, and will support continued efforts toward establishing a legally-binding commitment.
Global problems require global solutions, and Brazil is committed to doing its part to ensure that we are building a low-carbon economy for the future.
