Another critical moment will come tomorrow, when the final negotiating text is scheduled to be released. See our statement of the first draft of the text here. If we are to make meaningful progress, then it's important that next week's High Level segment starts with a text that is clearly structured, and includes an indication of where agreement has been reached and where disagreements remain. We're still at a crossroads, but the negotiations aren't over so there's time for improvement.
As the first week of COP21 comes to an end, the momentum is still strong and the world is watching as world leaders come together to make history.
We can leave #COP21 w/ a plan that puts a safer future within our grasp: https://t.co/32z9VxR9yH @world_wildlife pic.twitter.com/IGP5T4Rxs9
