NYSE Post: This new climate change draft has been in the works since 2011, where many are optimistic although in a more cautious tone, after delegates finally accepted this draft. Many disagreements remain, nearly all related to defining the obligations and expectations of rich and poor countries, as well as those who don't fit neatly into either category. Nor is there any agreement on capping the rise in average global surface temperatures at a particular level. Many developing nations want it to be no more...

Climate Home: Ministers from the 195 countries participating in the Paris talks started work on deciphering and clarifying options in the 48-page draft climate deal on Sunday.

The summit officially ends on Friday. Ministers will make various speeches and promises at a planned high level segment on Monday, while the hard graft takes place...

Climate Central: Peering closely at the climate talks underway in Paris could be a formula for depression. Entrenched divisions persist between richer and poorer countries on key negotiating issues. Pledges to tackle climate pollution that were submitted by nations before the talks began a week ago were underwhelming, and they would collectively allow global warming to blow well past the dangerous benchmark of 2°C (3.6°F). These are serious problems, threatening to bake the planet -- and the human beings and...

Washington Post: As world leaders grapple with how to cut global emissions of carbon dioxide, diplomats in Paris are recording progress in combating other pollutants that scientists believe are contributing powerfully to rising temperatures. A coalition of governments and private businesses has agreed to take up a series of initiatives to limit so-called short-lived climate pollutants, ranging from industrial chemicals used in refrigerators to soot particles given off by diesel engines. While emissions of these...
