The sudden concessions of the United States and China - the two economies that produce up to 40% of global emissions - take place before the final meeting of 192 countries during the climate summit in Copenhagen. This makes the world opinion hope that the conference will have a framework agreement on emission reduction and that agreement can be turned into a legally binding agreement next year.

US President Barack Obama and Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao will attend the final session with more than 110 other leaders. Earlier the prospect of the conference was overshadowed by disagreements among countries, boycott of African countries and harsh criticism of some delegations. The stalemate caused British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to make a warning that the climate conference is at risk of failure.

"Future generations will thank or condemn us after the Copenhagen conference. We must not allow the immediate benefits to hinder a policy to ensure human existence. I do not love. demand for England or any country to sacrifice national interests to save the climate, but we need to grow wisely, " Brown said in the conference.
