Light at the end of the tunnel for UN climate talks 1 SHARES Share it! The 2015 Paris Agreement was a landmark moment in international diplomacy, bringing together governments with vastly different views to tackle the common threat of global warming. The meeting in Poland’s southern city of Katowice was meant to finalize how countries report their emissions of greenhouses gases — a key factor in man-made climate change — and the efforts they’re taking to reduce them. Economists believe an international trading system could be an effective way to drive down emissions and raise large amounts of money for measures to curb global warming. The talks in Poland took place against a backdrop of increasing concern among scientists that global warming is proceeding faster than governments are responding to it.
