Have a peak at this scanned version of the final text of the Copenhagen Accord <http://climatebonds.net/2009/12/final-text-of-the-cop15-agreement/> . On the same page you can see a copy of the draft text from Friday 5am, as apparently discussed by heads of state on Friday morning. A treat for the history buffs among you.
