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...

Associated Press: Climate negotiators salvaged a compromise deal in Lima early Sunday that sets the stage for a global pact in Paris next year, but rejected a rigorous review of the greenhouse gas emissions limits the plan. More than 30 hours behind schedule, delegates from more than 190 countries agreed on what information should go into the pledges that countries submit for the expected Paris pact. They argued all day Saturday over the wording of the decision, with developing nations worried that the text blurred...

Indian Express: It is not the longest COP ever. Not yet. But the fatigue and frustration is evident on the delegates, and everyone else who is remaining at the conference centre in Lima, as the climate talks that were to finish on Friday evening drags on in the hope of crafting a minimalist draft that everyone can have least objections on. As the meetings reconvened on Saturday morning, a Malaysian delegate lamented that he was supposed to be on a flight to Cusco, the historical city in southern Peru from where...

Sydney Morning Herald: Negotiators in Peru are racing to reach an agreement in the dying hours of the United Nations climate change talks and have been forced to defer many of the tough decisions until next year. The scramble came as the Abbott Government was accused of "creative accounting" in the way it reported emissions from land clearing and forestry in a new study by German-based research organisation Climate Action Tracker. Australia also took the award of the "colossal fossil" from environment groups as the...

Climate change battle needs more than talks in Lima

Bangkok Post: At this very moment, all eyes are on Lima, Peru, and rightfully so. Peru is currently hosting the COP 20 (Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). For two weeks, representatives of every country are gathered to iron out the details of what should be the new agreement on climate change, to be signed in Paris in December 2015. The COP 20, and the ongoing climate negotiations as a whole, are more than legal discussions over the drafting of a binding...
