本文的目的是对本次会议进行概述和分析，特别关注具体成果和更普遍的新趋势。重点解决四大问题。首先，描述了会议的背景，并确定了主要参与者的谈判立场。其次，审查会议最重要的成果，重点是关于“承诺是否充分”和“联合执行”的决定。第三和第四部分确定了未来国际应对气候变化挑战的极有可能和更具推测性的因素。文章最后的论点是，现在判断柏林会议的最终意义还为时过早，这只能在今后两年内确定。在此期间，我们将看到各国国内对气候变化问题的辩论将如何进行。这将决定柏林会议最终是被视为辩论中的一个关键转折点，还是仅仅是另一次国际会议。
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview and analysis of this conference, paying particular attention to both the specific outcomes and the more general emerging trends. Four major areas will be addressed. First, the context of the conference is described and the negotiating positions of the major players identified. Second, the most significant outcomes of the conference are examined, with an emphasis upon the decisions on the "adequacy of commitments" and "joint implementation." The third and fourth sections identify the highly probable and more speculative elements of thefuture international response to the climate change challenge. The article will conclude with the argument that it is too early to judge the ultimate significance of the Berlin Conference, which will only be determined over the next two years. During this period, we will come to see how the national debates within different countries on the issue of climate change will proceed. This will determine whether the Berlin Conference is ultimately seen as a key turning point in the debate, or simply another international gathering.
