The Fifteenth United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen ended with a "minimal" accord. This was a global event in which Oil took part via an online special and monograph print edition of the magazine, presented at the Bella Center in Copenhagen as part of a side-event organized by the Mediterranean Center for Climate Change (CMCC). While clear-cut figures for cuts in CO2 emissions did not emerge in the accord, it did, however, limit global warming to a maximum of 2% compared to pre-industrial levels, as well as provide financial aid for poorer countries amounting to 30 billion dollars over three years, reaching 100 billion dollars by 2020. The next meeting is scheduled in Bonn in six months' time for further verification, and then the final results will be signed in 2011 in Mexico City.
