BBC: International talks in Bonn have made progress towards a new global deal on climate change, says the UN, amid calls from NGOs for a faster pace. Countries are working towards options to limit greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 in time for a crunch Paris summit. The UN said progress had been made towards streamlining the text of a new agreement at talks in Bonn.

Bloomberg: Ontario recently announced plans to address climate change. Canada's most populous province thus joins a trend: Where national governments fail to act, states and cities are stepping up.
