The German and Brazilian leaders called Thursday for the Copenhagen summit to agree on “all significant elements” of a new climate deal and produce a timetable for a legally binding agreement.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva conceded that “we won’t reach the agreement of our dreams in Copenhagen,” where the summit opens next week. However, he said after meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel that he expects “important progress.”
