BONN, Germany, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Chances that 政府s will work out a U.N. (許可,名誉などを)与える to 戦闘 気候 change in December seem brighter than in the run-up to a failed 試みる/企てる in 2009, 専門家s said as 委任する/代表s from almost 200 nations met on Monday, hoping to 橋(渡しをする) 深い 分割s.

Memories of a U.N. 首脳会議 in Copenhagen in December 2009, when world leaders 含むing U.S. 大統領 Barack Obama failed to work out a 取引,協定 ーするつもりであるd to 回避する more heatwaves, floods and rising seas, hang over the 会談 in Bonn.

"We're closer to an 協定" than at the same time before Copenhagen, Elina Bardram, 長,率いる of the European (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限 代表, told Reuters. "But there's a lot still to be done."

上級の 政府 公式の/役人s began five days of 会談 in the former West German 資本/首都 目的(とする)ing to 削減(する) an unwieldy 83-page 草案 text in the penultimate 準備の 開会/開廷/会期 before a Nov. 30-Dec. 11 首脳会議 in Paris.

The text 含む/封じ込めるs a mix of ideas. Some poor nations are calling for an end to all 温室 gas 放出/発行s by 2050, in contrast with 石油輸出国機構 countries' preference for no 最終期限s.

"Chances of success are much better" than in the run-up to Copenhagen, Yvo de Boer, who was the U.N. 気候 長,指導者 at the Copenhagen 会議/協議会 and is now 長,率いる of the 全世界の Green Growth 学校/設ける in ソウル, told Reuters.

He said that both the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs and Chi na were more engaged this time, the new (許可,名誉などを)与える was based 大部分は on voluntary 申し込む/申し出s to 削減(する) 温室 gas 放出/発行s, and ambitions for an all-encompassing 直す/買収する,八百長をする to 気候 change were lower.

The 国際連合 has said Paris will only be a step に向かって 達成するing a long-称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語 goal of 限界ing a rise in 全世界の 気温s to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) over pre-産業の times.

"Paris is not the end of the 過程, it is the start of the 過程," Laurence Tubiana, フラン's 気候 外交官/大使, told 委任する/代表s. She 勧めるd more 焦点(を合わせる) on 活動/戦闘 from 2015 to 2020, when the Paris (許可,名誉などを)与える will enter into 軍隊.

Time is running short because there will only be another five-day 開会/開廷/会期 of 会談 in October, also in Bonn, before the Paris 首脳会議. "We need to work faster," 中国's 長,指導者 委任する/代表 Su Wei told Reuters.

The main group of 現れるing nations branded a 改訂するd 草案 text for Bonn "unbalanced", 説 it played 負かす/撃墜する its calls for a 機械装置 to 補償する for loss and 損失 原因(となる)d by, for example, rising sea levels.

Some developing nation 委任する/代表s told the 開始 開会/開廷/会期 that 熱帯の 嵐/襲撃する Erika, which killed more than 20 people on the Caribbean island of Dominica last week, was a harbinger of worse to come from a build-up of 温室 gases.

The 合意 の中で 気候 scientists is that it is usually impossible to pin any 選び出す/独身 災害 on man-made 全世界の warming, but if left unchecked it will produce more extreme 嵐/襲撃するs, floods and 干ばつs over time. (報告(する)/憶測ing by Alister Doyle; Editing by 示す Trevelyan)
