Deutsche-Welle: More than 24 hours after the scheduled end of the climate conference in Warsaw, delegates have finally come to a consensus. But the conference was teetering on the edge of failure right up to the final minutes. At the end, everything hung on one word. Developing countries wanted to exclude the word "under" from the climate conference's final report. Countries like the Philippines and Bangladesh did not want to accept that the new international "loss and damage mechanism," created in Warsaw...

RTE: Almost 200 countries have kept alive hopes for a global deal in 2015 to fight climate change after overcoming disputes on greenhouse gas emissions cuts and aid for poor nations at talks in Poland. Governments agreed that a new deal in 2015 would consist of a patchwork of national contributions to curb emissions that could blur a 20-year-old distinction between the obligations of rich and poor nations. The two-week meeting also created a Warsaw International Mechanism to help the poor cope with...

Reuters: Around 195 countries ended a two-week meeting in Warsaw on Saturday evening to agree the outlines of a deal meant to be agreed in 2015 to combat global warming. Following are some of the main decisions: FINANCE Developed nations promised in 2009 to increase their aid to poorer countries to help them cope with climate change to $100 billion a year after 2020, from $10 billion a year in 2010-12. But in Warsaw they rejected calls to set targets for 2013-19. A draft text merely urged developed...

Warsaw climate talks set to reach deal to agree targets on emissions cuts
2013-11-23 21:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Marathon talks on a new global agreement on climate change looked likely to end on Saturday night in a partial deal that would require all countries to come forward with targets on curbing their greenhouse gas emissions within a little over a year. The deal looked likely to be struck after a fortnight of negotiations ran into an unscheduled extra day because countries could not agree on a timetable for setting clear national targets on cuts in carbon. There were angry scenes and bitter rows,...
