在此背景下，雙方致力于在哥本哈根會議達成最終的法律協議，同時相信，在共同但有區別的責任原則和各自能力的基礎上，達成的成果應包括發達國家的減排目標和發展中國家的國內適當減緩行動。該項成果也應實質性地增加給發展中國家的資金幫助，促進技術開發、推廣和轉讓，尤其應該注意最貧窮國家和最脆弱國家適應氣候變化的需要，促進保護和增強森林作用的措施，并在執行減緩措施以及提供資金、技術和能力建設支持方面保持充分的透明度。
In this context both sides believe that, while striving for finallegal agreement, an agreed outcome at Copenhagen should, based on theprinciple of common but differentiated responsibilities and respectivecapabilities, include emission reduction targets of developed countriesand nationally appropriate mitigation actions of developing countries. The outcome should also substantially scale up financial assistance to developing countries, promote technology development, dissemination andtransfer, pay particular attention to the needs of the poorest and mostvulnerable to adapt to climate change, promote steps to preserve andenhance forests, and provide for full transparency with respect to the implementation of mitigation measures and provision of financial,technology and capacity building support.
