I of course note your position, but if there are no other objections, the document is adopted, she said to thunderous applause.

　　Felipe Caldern, the president of Mexico, said it was a historic agreement.

　　He said the world has been crushed by inertia and helplessness in the face of climate change.

　　But he said that the deal in Cancun would restore hope in the UN process and the fight against climate change.

　　Confidence is back, hope has returned to the fight against climate change and in many other matters that require hope and trust in the face of our global problems, he said.

　　The new deal falls short of a global treaty. However it has progressed from Copenhagen by getting all countries, except Bolivia, to sign up to an official UN document.

　　The Cancun deal commits all countries to keeping temperature rise below 2C by reducing emissions. Rich countries have agreed to consider an extension of the Kyoto Protocol while poor countries will sign up to emission cuts for the first time. There are also a series of key decisions on setting up a green fund to help poor countries cope with climate change and halting deforestation.

　　Chris Huhne, the Climate Change and Energy Secretary, said the proposals did not give everybody everything they wanted but it was progress.

　　Weve made much more progress than anybody expected only weeks, he said.
