Prime Minister Blair had planned to move beyond the Kyoto Protocol by looking at how to include key developing countries ( India , China , Mexico , Brazil and South Africa ) not included in it - principally by agreeing technology transfer of clean energy technologies in exchange for commitments on reduction of greenhouse gases . Other announced items on the agenda were counter-terrorism , non-proliferation and reform in the Middle East . The summit was overshadowed , however , by bomb attacks in London on the second day of the conference
