Not every country has adapted to the notion of 'adaptation'

COPENHAGEN: Contention has surrounded a few "crunch" issues at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, according to Connie Hedegaard, the president of the meeting.

Hedegaard says targets for cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of money that developed countries should be sending in the form of aid to developing countries are the two biggest crunch issues.

But Hedegaard said there are also "deeper layers" of contention that go beyond politics and arouse serious concern among delegates and representatives from international and non-government organizations.
