Ahead of the key climate summit here, representatives of the G-77 group of developing nations and China spent two days in a conference room here, discussing their strategy for the meeting and speculating on possible outcomes and their position on specific issues.

One of the issues that has emerged among several members of the group, according to the Indian delegation, is deep concern over several drafts of a potential agreement that are floating around including the BASIC (Brazil, South Korea, India, China) draft that has been recently circulated as well as the Danish proposal, which is yet to be fully disclosed.
