The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), an international conservation organization, made recommendations on Monday for the Copenhagen climate deal.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference, which began on December 7, will end on Friday.

In a statement from Copenhagen, the WWF called on ministers to adopt a legally binding protocol that specifies funding sources and mechanisms, approves an internationally accepted methodology to measure emission reductions, and limits the rise in average global temperature to less than two degrees.

"The overall objective must be to lay the basis for an outcome that will put the world on track to a less-than-two-degree future," said Kim Carstensen, head of the WWF' s global climate initiative.

Carstensen called for a scientific review of the Copenhagen agreement in 2015 to "minimize the risk of overshooting two degrees."

The WWF, founded in 1961, is active in more than 100 countries. It is headquartered in Gland, Switzerland.
