DURBAN, South Africa (AP) — A U.N. climate conference reached a
hard-fought agreement Sunday on a far-reaching program meant to set a
new course for the global fight against climate change.
The
194-party conference agreed to start negotiations on a new accord that
would ensure that countries will be legally bound to carry out any
pledges they make. It would take effect by 2020 at the latest.
The
deal doesn't explicitly compel any nation to take on emissions targets,
although most emerging economies have volunteered to curb the growth of
their emissions.
