Ministers are due to meet formally on Wednesday for "high level" negotiations to give a nod to the Kyoto Protocol, whose ratification has proved a delicate task.

With the coming of Ministers to the Conference, a new rule book is expected to be opened on Kyoto.

But proposals from the Japanese, Australia, Canada and Russian delegates threaten to weaken the agreement that governments signed in Bonn, according to analysts here.

The Canadian Environment Minister David Anderson stated over the weekend that the treaty does not need legally binding consequences, clearly undermining the desire for a lobust enforcement regime, demostrated in Bonn last July.

Friends of the Earth International Climate Campaigner Kate Hampton said without strong enforcement system, the Kyoto Protocol will not be worth the paper it is written on.

"EU ministers must be clear that the text on the table now is not what they intended to do in Bonn. The agreement has been watered down enough already", he said.

And the climate corporate agenda has been exposed at the ongoing talks in Marrakech.

Some environmental groups are not happy with the proceedings. They allege that instead of addressing real issues and closing the gap between rich and poor countries, the Kyoto Protocol on climate change is being over-taken by false promises.

In a joint press briefing here, a Climate Coalition of environmental groups fighting for environmental rights and equality, exposed the agenda of corporate organizations.

This is four days after the World Bank already promised a staggering US$135 million Prototype Carbon Fund ( PFC), for developing countries to adapt to climate impacts.

"By succumbing to the corporate agenda, the Kyoto Protocol is failing to achieve climate justice", said Amit Srivasta of Corp Watch.

The climate group says instead of addressing the causes of global warming and the inequalities between north and south, developed nations have now taken over the Kyoto Process.

Yin Shao Loong of the Third World Network said : "They are spearheaded by Canada, Japan, Russia and Australia. They have set their delegations the task of paving way for business interests to seize a brand new market, in the name of greenhouse gas emissions trading."

Green Peace alleged that the UN Climate Convention's spirit of environmental integrity and common sense has already been diluted.

In a bid to show and convince the public that the Kyoto Protocol on the fight for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions can work, the World Bank launched the fund in Marrakech.

The project, targeting Uganda, Chile and Latvia, are aimed at alleviating the crippling effects of climate change on poorer countries.
