On-going Discussion

Elizabeth May

South Korea:

If we do not succeed, our children will not forgive us. We have made good progress, back on the Bali Roadmap.  We have a balanced agreement, with LCA and KP.  Today's text clearly sets out the need for a low- carbon future.

The linchpin is the establishment of the Green Climate Fund.  That this is here is very important.

Supports text.

Grenada:

Very pleased tonight to say my thanks to you and congratulate you on hard work and dedication. Your flexibility and transparency. We welcome this text. It is not a perfect text, but we recognize it as progress. As Ban-Ki Moon said. We must not allow the prefect to be the enemy of the good. We welcome the proposals on adaptation, finance, capacity building. I am pleased you asked me to co-chair the section on shared vision.

We do have a few concerns but these concerns can wait. May I encourage all parties, knowing we have struggled hard, we have worked hard. It's not a done deal, but we can say we have left Cancun with something workable.

Thunderous applause.
