The article reports on a United Nations (UN) climate accord in which nearly every country among the 195 represented nations agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. Poor nations as well as wealthier states have agreed to reduce emissions. Scientists warn, however, that the deal will only reduce emissions by about half as much as is needed to prevent devastating environmental effects. Topics discussed include environmental policy in China and the U.S. and the energy industry.

The article looks at the international conference on climate change in Paris, France, focusing on the role India may play in the conference in terms of whether developed and developing countries will be able to come to an agreement on carbon dioxide mitigation goals.
