Nations participating at Durban Conference agreed to stipulate by 2015 and entry into force in 2020, a legally binding agreement for a significant reduction of emissions and to identify further measures to reduce global emissions before 2020, in order to take duly into account the agreed goal of holding global warming below 2°C compared to the pre-industrial temperature.
