Business Standard: "It is so decided,' the Peruvian environment minister Manuel Pulgar-Vidalsaid as his gavel hit the table and the torturous 13 days of UN climate change negotiations ended with 196 countries adopting the document 'Lima Call to Climate Action' at around 1 am on Sunday morning. Several hours of closed door negotiations led by the hosts late on Saturday night brought about a compromise, rescuing the talks from the brink of disaster.

The issue that mattered above all to developing countries was deciding who should carry the burden of emissions cuts, and getting the money flowing for climate aid.

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...
