I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing support you have given me over the last year or so.

We return from Copenhagen with an Accord which represents the start of a new chapter on climate change, even if it does not provide everything we wanted.

The Accord includes international backing for an overall limit of 2 degrees on global warming; agreement that all countries need to take action on climate change; and the provision of immediate and longer term financial help to those countries most at risk of climate change.

For the first time, the new Copenhagen Accord will also:

*List what each and every country is doing to tackle climate change – including economy-wide commitments to cut emissions by developed countries and actions by developing countries

*Introduce real scrutiny and transparency to ensure emission targets are put into effect, with mandatory reporting every two years for developing countries

*Provide billion of immediate short term funding from developed countries over the next three years to kick start emission reduction measures and help the poorest countries adapt to the impacts of climate change

*Commit developed countries to work to provide long term financing of 100 billion a year by 2020, a figure first put forward by Prime Minister Gordon Brown in June of this year.

The UK and other countries will now be working to convert the accord into a legally binding agreement as soon as possible.

Just as we have worked together on The Road to Copenhagen, so we need to work together on the road from Copenhagen. That's about demanding more internationally and doing more at home.

Let's work together to make it happen.
