Almost 200 nations have agreed on a set of rules which they hope will breathe life into the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. The agreement sets out how countries should report their emissions, pollutants released into the environment, and efforts to reduce them. But negotiators delayed other important decisions until next year. The delay has angered environmentalists and countries that wanted stronger actions. Scientists are warning that the world must move away from coal, oil and other fossil fuels over the next 20 to 30 years. Mohamed Adow is a climate policy expert at Christian Aid, a British aid group. He said, “The majority of the rulebook for the Paris agreement has been created, which is something to be thankful for.” Adow said the lack of support for the recent climate conference shows that some countries are in denial about the reality of climate change. The talks ended late Saturday in the Polish city of Katowice. Officials agreed on common rules on how nations can cut emissions.
