Business Times: United Nations member states have agreed an agreement on tackling climate change at negotiations in Peru, that ran days longer than scheduled.

Agence France-Presse: A carbon-curbing deal struck in Lima on Sunday was a watered-down compromise where national intransigence threatened the goal of a pact to save Earth's climate system, green groups said. The hard-fought agreement sets out guidelines for the submission of national greenhouse-gas pledges next year. But, the groups said, initially ambitious standards became weaker the longer the talks wound on. In a tug-of-war between rich and developing nation interests, the end result was a "lackluster plan...
