KATOWICE, Poland — Negotiators are gathering in Katowice, Poland, for the annual U.N. climate summit, known informally as COP 24. It is the most important international meeting for countries to discuss and coordinate the fight against global warming. It’s hoped that the so-called Talanoa Dialogue will allow countries to discuss sensitive issues without resorting to blaming others. Rich countries have the resources to pay for this transition but many poor countries don’t. To ensure that they, too, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions large sums of money will need to flow from rich to poor countries.
