UN climate talks open in Poland with call for ‘urgent’ action

KATOWICE, Poland, Dec 2, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Representatives from nearly 200 countries began crunch UN climate talks in Poland Sunday against a backdrop of dire environmental warnings and a call for action against the “urgent” threats posed by climate change.

The COP24 climate summit will see nations try to agree on ways of implementing the promises they made in the 2015 Paris treaty to limit temperature rises to avert runaway global warming.
