摘要

The Cancún climate-change conference has achieved some kind of progress. Large chunks of an accord agreed on Copenhagen were finally translated into the official UN process. The worry is which direction the progress will develop. The world’s largest carbon emitters, China and America, are not bound by the protocol makes seeking its extension moot. Yet some from Europe and from developing countries left Cancún talking of a revived push for broad-based and legally binding constraints. But the pursuit of a universal legally binding agreement is doomed. There is an alternative that should be welcome to all. Take the good things agreed in Cancún—the fund, the deforestation deal, technology transfer and so on—and devote all possible energy to making them work. It’s impossible to solve climate change with a global deal. We’d better use the newly executable process to achieve valuable goals than ruin it again.

译得挺顺畅。两描红句的看法：

No super-Kyoto seeking to constrain the world would fare better, even if it were fair to constrain poor countries that have next-to-no blame for the problem.即使约束毫无责任的贫穷国家是公平得，这些超越京都议定书之上寻求束缚全世界的国家也不会好到哪去。

试：即使制约毫无责任的贫穷国家算是公平之举，任何试图制约全球的“超级”京都协定都不能有更好的进展。

Yet some from Europe and from developing countries left Cancún talking of a revived push for broad-based and legally binding constraints.
然而，一些欧洲和发展中国家的代表离开坎昆，他们谈到要再次推进具有广泛基础和法律约束力的承诺。

理解基本相同：然而，一些欧洲和发展中国家在坎昆之后提出，要重新启动和推进具有广泛基础和法律约束力的制约条例。

假如没有限制摘要数字的话，我以为还可以简略些：
e.g.

The Cancún climate-change conference has achieved some kind of progress: large chunks of an accord agreed in Copenhagen were finally translated into the official UN process.  But what's next? since it’s impossible to negotiate a universal legally binding agreement, the alternative is to take the good things agreed to Cancún and make them work.
