Edited excerpts: ?How do you see the outcome at the Lima round of climate talks? ?I think a step forward, to have expected much more would have been unrealistic. At least now we have some kind of a roadmap for Paris. Well of course a lot has to be done if we are to have a solid agreement in Paris. However, I don't think the agreement will be radically different from what's been structured in Lima. Paris will at least give us a means to deal with this problem effectively and urgently.?
