A strong agreement requires an element that harmonizes the interests of rich countries, China, India, and developing countries, which can be achieved by incorporating the deployment of renewable technologies in the Copenhagen agreement.

To do so we propose the following construction:

The COP should decide to create a separate fund for the deployment of renewable technologies in developing countries. The size of the fund would be determined by two parameters:

- The more rich countries fail to realize CO₂ reduction in their own countries, the larger the fund.

- The more China, India and Brazil realize a larger CO₂ free component in their growth, particularly in their industrial, transport, and electricity sectors, the larger the fund.

Preferably, the sizes of the contributions of rich countries are based on the 2020 CO₂ reductions, as required by IPCC for a fifty-fifty likelihood to keep the world temperature increase below two degrees Celsius. The G20 formulated the two-degree increase explicitly as a goal, which is likely to be reaffirmed in Copenhagen. In doing so, the COP links fund contributions to scientifically required CO₂ reductions, with this explicit goal. Politics can then be associated with real solutions, not with politically driven insufficient ones!
