158個國家的與會代表在聯合國氣候會議上對於溫室氣體排放量的削減範圍目標達成廣泛協議，將一同致力於降低全球暖化的危機，而此目標將在現行的全球氣候變遷管理架構，也就是京都議定書於2012年屆滿之後開始實施。
在此協議之下，工業化國家同意削減溫室氣體排放量比1990年的水準再減少25%~40%，以避免氣候變遷所帶來的不良影響，例如世界上多數地區發生經常性的嚴重乾旱及缺水問題。
結束為期一週的會議討論，聯合國氣候官員表示，最後得出的結論與目標，將成為12月在印尼峇里島舉行的國際氣候高峰會重要會談的指導方針。
Delegates to a United Nations climate conference from 158 nations have reached broad agreement on a range of targets for greenhouse gas emissions cuts in an effort to lower the risk of global warming. The target would apply after the current global framework for managing climate change, the Kyoto Protocol, expires in 2012.
A group of industrialized countries bound by the protocol agreed that emissions should be reduced by 25 to 40 percent below 1990 levels to avoid the worst effects of climate change - such as frequent and severe droughts and water shortages in large parts of the world.
At the conclusion of the week-long conference, UN climate officials said the target would guide talks at the major international climate summit to be held in December in Bali, Indonesia.
