Terming the Copenhagen Climate Summit "a huge missed opportunity" Greenpeace today in a statement claimed "the world's most powerful countries have betrayed future and current generations." "Whilst en route to the airport they claimed the deal was done, it was not. All they left was chaos and confusion in their wake," it said in the statement. The organisation said the delegates were engaged in negotiations through the night but they struggled to understand the status of the so called 'Copenhagen Accord' as the climate summit came to an inglorious, incoherent and fiercely disputed close. "Rather than coming together to secure a future for hundreds of millions of people by agreeing an historic deal to avert climate chaos, leaders of the world's most powerful countries have betrayed future and current generations," Greenpeace International Executive Director, Kumi Naidoo said in the statement.

In 2012 the Kyoto Protocol to prevent climate changes and global warming runs out. To keep the process on the line there is an urgent need for a new climate protocol. At the conference in Copenhagen 2009 the parties of the UNFCCC met for the last time on government level before the climate agreement need to be renewed.
