The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations in the lead-up to the December 2009 Copenhagen Summit have been quite complex. There are two streams to these negotiations: the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) and the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention (AWG-LCA).

For those of us who do not have the time to navigate through the different submissions on the UNFCCC website, the World Resources Institute have produced a nice summary (mainly focussed on submissions for the Long-term Cooperative Action negotiating text).
