Limiting warming to two degree Celcius was recommended as one of the commitment on the December 2009, Copenhagen Accord.
As of 1st February 2010, among the 194 member nations of UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), fifty five (55) nations have registered their commitment to combat global warming. The number was increased to over 100 countries in late February. China and India are yet to say if they will associate or not. However, according to Yvo de Boer, the head of UN climate change secretariat, both China and India together with about 60 other countries, heve submitted plans or targets on the actions they plan to take.
A UNEP conerence of environment minister and officials from more than 135 countries was held in Bali, Nusa Dua in February 2010. An independent board of scientists will be appointed to review the world's top climate change panel, which have been accused for exaggerated the pace of melt of Himalayan glaciers. This month (February 2010) the panel has also admitted that the report also overstated how much of the Netherlands is below sea level. The latest, fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report was published in 2007 and next is due in 2014. It is hope that the issue will be close on the next plenary session of IPCC in October 2010, in South Korea.
