Second Question: How united is the G77?

According to many news accounts and delegates from both the G77 and other countries, the climate change meetings in Copenhagen in December last year were not a success for the G77 as a group. While in Kyoto and Bali, the G77 was able to present a strong, common position, this was clearly not the case in Copenhagen. Some say that this is due to the fact that the BASIC countries thought it in their interest to negotiate an outcome without fully engaging the rest of the G77. Also, Sudan (chairing the G77 in 2009)and South Africa apparently did not see eye to eye in Copenhagen as well. Some sources suggest that this divide about climate change is ongoing.
