The 160-page Copenhagen Climate Treaty, which took some of the world's most experienced climate NGOs almost a year to write, was distributed to negotiators from 192 states at the talks in Bonn. The document contains a full legal text covering all the main elements needed to provide the world with a fair and ambitious agreement that keeps climate change impacts below the unacceptable risk levels identified by most scientists. It is provided to serve as the benchmark for governments negotiating a new climate deal this year.

The Copenhagen Climate Treaty, was drafted by the David Suzuki Foundation, Greenpeace, WWF, IndyACT - the League of Independent Activists, Germanwatch, National Ecological Centre of Ukraine and expert individuals from around the world.
