This paper describes the pre-Copenhagen process and the expectations associated with the Copenhagen negotiations from a negotiator's eye. It also provides an account of COP 15, in particular the second week of the conference, with a focus on the North-South divide, the South-South divide, and the issue of broken trust and finally analyses the main outcome of the COP with a proposition to the way forward.
