Countries reach compromise in climate talks

Developed countries and fast-growing economies have reached a last-minute compromise to avert a breakdown of UN climate talks in Warsaw.

Talks were deadlocked after China and India clashed with the US and other developed countries on how to pave the way for a new agreement to fight global warming.

The stalemate was unlocked by a compromise that called on all countries to prepare “contributions,” rather than “commitments” for the new deal, which is supposed to be adopted in 2015.
