Associated Press: U.N. climate talks head into a tense final week Monday after the diplomatic effort to reduce global warming gases was hit by a series of setbacks, including Japan's decision to ditch its voluntary emissions target. The two-decade-old negotiations have so far failed to achieve their goal of slashing emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases that scientists say are warming the planet. They don't seem to be getting any closer after a tumultuous first week at this year's session in Warsaw. Despite...

Grist: There have been more disappointments than encouraging signs at the U.N. climate talks in Warsaw, Poland, which have just passed the halfway mark. They`re intended to lay the groundwork for a new global climate treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol, but it`s not going well so far. Rich countries are not outlining how they will fund the planned $100-billion-a-year Green Climate Fund. Discussions involving agriculture have been taken off the table, even though farming reforms could substantially reduce...

Economic Times: A dedicated institutional mechanism to address the adverse impacts of climate change such as extreme weather events like Typhoon Haiyan and Cyclone Phailin may well be within reach at the end of the ongoing global talks at Warsaw. After a weekend of intense negotiations, government representatives have prepared a draft plan that will be taken up for further discussions by the ministers when they arrive in Warsaw over the next two days. The draft acknowledges that addressing loss and damage...
