Here is an extract:

"The main issues, though, are economic and geopolitical in nature.

Main players in the summit itself are optimistic that something worthwhile can emerge, despite these obstacles.



Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN climate convention, recently said: "At this point, everything I see tells me that there is a deal to be done.



"Cancun will be a success, if parties compromise."
