Indian Express: IN THE strongest-ever push for a global agreement on climate change, leaders and monarchs from nearly 150 countries will assemble under one roof here on Monday, hoping that the show of solidarity would force a different result from the one six years ago when they last gathered in such numbers for the same cause. Unlike any previous climate change meeting -- an annual year-end event -- the two-week conference in Paris will kickstart with the high-profile presence of heads of states and governments...

New York Times: After two decades of talks that failed to slow the relentless pace of global warming, negotiators from almost 200 countries are widely expected to sign a deal in the next two weeks to take concrete steps to cut emissions. The prospect of progress, any progress, has elicited cheers in many quarters. The pledges that have already been announced represent a clear and determined down payment on a new era of climate ambition from the global community of nations, said Christiana Figueres, executive...

Globe and Mail: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's new government is touting the role it can play in fostering support for a climate-change agreement at this week's Commonwealth summit and at upcoming talks in Paris. It is, undoubtedly, a change from the former Conservative government of Stephen Harper, which never saw pushing for a global climate-change deal as its mission in the world.

New York Times: As world leaders meet in Paris on Monday to kick off two weeks of talks aimed at shaping safe targets for emissions of greenhouse gases, Bill Gates will be in town, as well, to announce a modest first step toward bolstering the basic energy research and technology development that will be needed to meet those targets affordably. The gap between the modest, but creditable, emissions pledges so far and any reasonable trajectory toward avoiding dangerous climate change is huge, as I wrote recently....
