Xinhua: The world is on track to reach a new deal on climate change in 2015 and China's efforts in carbon emission cuts are "encouraging", the European Union's top climate official said in a recent interview with Xinhua. "It's going to be challenging to get this ambitious deal the world needs in Paris," said Connie Hedegaard, the EU commissioner for climate action, referring to 2015 talks to secure a new global climate deal that may have legally-binding targets on emission cuts for all countries in the...

Economic Times: After almost 30 hours of overtime, the United Nations-sponsored Warsaw climate change talks came to a close with a deal that failed to resolve key contentious issues but managed to keep every country at the table. The intense-and-sometimes-acrimonious negotiations yielded modest agreement on an international mechanism to address extreme and adverse impacts of climate change in vulnerable developing countries, a way forward on financing for developing countries and a deal to move ahead on fashioning...

BBC: UN climate talks in Poland have ended with delegates reaching a compromise on how to fight global warming.

Negotiators also made progress on the contentious issue of loss and damage that developing countries are expected to suffer in a warming world. Green groups were angry...

Agence France-Presse: UN negotiators agreed in fraught overtime talks Saturday on cornerstone issues of an ambitious, global climate pact to stave off dangerous Earth warming. While sleep-deprived delegates congratulated themselves on the outcome, which followed 36 hours of non-stop haggling at the end of a fortnight of talks, observers and climate-vulnerable nations said there was not much to be happy about. "Just in the nick of time, the negotiators in Warsaw delivered enough to keep the process moving," said...

Warsaw deal keeps hopes climate change action alive

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...
