The president of the conference received a warm welcome as the Cancún climate summit neared its conclusion with a successful balance achieved. The Mexican foreign minister was able to find the balance that many countries were seeking, leading to widespread acceptance of the text she had produced. Patricia Espinosa was taken aback by the continuous applause from ministers, bureaucrats, activists, journalists, and officials. Nearly all of the 190 countries showed their support for the text without feeling pressured to make a deal. Even the typically critical Venezuelan delegation expressed their pleasure, describing the text as "amazing" and praising its "striking balance". The main hall resounded with applause as delegations took turns speaking, all offering praise for Espinosa's efforts and expressing strong support for the text. Greenhouse gases, by trapping the sun's heat in the atmosphere, lead to rising temperatures and ultimately climate change manifested in extreme weather events such as floods, cyclones, rising sea levels, and prolonged droughts. Experts warn that a temperature increase of more than 2 degrees Celsius could result in irreversible and catastrophic climate change. Espinosa ended the two-hour informal plenary just after midnight on Friday and instructed delegations to continue their discussions in their working groups to complete the necessary process. Following these meetings, there will be a closing plenary to officially adopt the outcome, unless there are any unexpected developments. Mihir Kanti Majumder, the environment secretary of Bangladesh, expressed that the draft showed progress compared to the previous climate summit in Copenhagen. He believed the draft was acceptable and could be further worked on. However, another delegate from Bangladesh stated that the text marked the beginning rather than the end, as Espinosa had mentioned in her closing remarks. She stated that the conference marked the beginning of a new phase of cooperation on a strong foundation, rather than an end. The delegate noted that there were aspects of the negotiations that did not align with Bangladesh's position or the interests of poorer countries, but all parties agreed to compromise. Ziaul Hoque Mukta, policy and advocacy manager for Oxfam Bangladesh and a member of the national delegation, commented that while the text was not entirely complete, it held promise for further development. He also acknowledged that the text provided a basis for serious negotiations at the next UN climate convention summit in Durban, South Africa next year. Saleemul Huq, a senior researcher at the International Institute for Environmental Development, expressed his approval of the content and production of the text in his initial reaction to bdnews24.com. He agreed with the minister's points, specifically mentioning the Adaptation Committee and the Green Climate Fund as important aspects. As a lead author for assessment reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, he emphasized that these demands were crucial for poor and vulnerable countries, and he was pleased to see them included in the text. Huq described the text as "clean." The negotiations led by the Mexicans were conducted effectively, with openness and transparency. A long-time insider of complex climate negotiations commented positively on the 32-page document, noting that all brackets had been removed. The insider acknowledged that this progress was a step forward from Copenhagen and highlighted the compromise reflected in the text, where not everyone gets everything, but everyone gets something. He stated that the most important aspect is that it restores trust in the process and in each other. The participants' happiness and gratitude showed that they were grateful to Espinosa for this specific reason - for reinstating their trust in the multilateral process.
