Grist: The U.N. climate summit kicked off two weeks ago with an unfamiliar sense of optimism, invigorated by the recent agreement between the United States and China. But it ended with an all-too-familiar sense of disappointment. On early Sunday morning, delegates delivered a vague, four-page document that does little more than set the terms for what the parties will be battling over at the next big summit in Paris a year from now. After two weeks huddled in sweaty, sweltering tents (yes, many a greenhouse...

Independent: The UN climate deal agreed between nearly 200 countries in the early hours of Sunday morning was welcomed by politicians but environmentalists and climate activists denounced it as both weak and ineffectual. Differences over the draft text caused the two-week talks in Lima, Peru to overrun by more than a day before a compromise was finally struck. For the first time, developing and developed nations have all signed up to publishing their national plans for curbing carbon dioxide emissions,...

Vox: Under a new UN deal on climate change agreed to in Peru, every single country has agreed to submit a plan next year for limiting the growth of their greenhouse-gas emissions. That's a first.

USA Today: Nearly 200 countries salvaged a weak climate agreement Sunday in which each nation pledged to come up with a plan to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. But, delegates to the United Nations talks delayed decisions on other measures that could have a significant impact on global warming. The deal agreed to 33 hours behind schedule barely keeps hope alive for a meaningful global agreement in Paris a year from now. Arguments over the wording of the rulebook for pledges that countries will submit...

BBC: United Nations members have reached an agreement on how countries should tackle climate change. Delegates have approved a framework for setting national pledges to be submitted to a summit next year. Differences over the draft text caused the two-week talks in Lima, Peru, to overrun by two days. Environmental groups said the deal was an ineffectual compromise, but the EU said it was a step towards achieving a global climate deal next year in Paris. The talks proved difficult because of divisions...
