Copenhagen, 15 December -One of the Pacific's leading academic institutions, the University of the South Pacific doubts there will be a legally binding agreement out of COP15.
But on the same note USP's Pro-Vice Chancellor Professor Patrick Nunn remains hopeful that some form of agreement will be struck immediately after the historic climate change meeting.
Professor Nunn implies that while it is good to be hopeful, the region also has to be realistic about some of the possible outcomes out of COP15.

Well I hope we going to be reaching some kind of agreement. I think its very important for the planet as a whole that we do get there but at the moment I don't think that we are going to reach an agreement, I haven't been sitting in all the plenary sessions but I feel there is going to be enough goodwill generated at this meeting so if we don't actually get an agreement at the meeting itself, we will get an agreement maybe six months or so down the line that will be what we want.
