The resistance of some countries to the Kyoto Protocol was a stone of stumbling blocks during the last week of negotiations.

However, the diplomats were a compromise.

Speech cheered representatives of Governments which had caused most friction during negotiations - Japan, China, the us - as one by one, they approved the project.

"Developing countries can now see money on the table they are inspired to adapt to the effects that they already face and reduce emissions."

Tara Rao, senior policy with the environmental group WWF commented: "it is sufficient in that we can work towards the year South Africa next meeting obtaining a legally binding agreement y."
