Deal on world warming prevention reached

After two weeks of negotiations in the Polish town of Katowica, the states reached consensus on a more detailed framework for the 2015 Paris Agreement, which aims to limit an increase in average global temperatures no more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

It is not easy to find agreement on such a specific and technical issue. Through this package you've taken a thousand small steps forward together. You may feel proud”, Polish President of Talks Mikhail Kurtika told delegates.

Before the start of the talks, expectations were that the agreement would not be as powerful as necessary. After the unity that supported the talks in Paris has been torn apart and the president of the United States, Donald Trump, aims to attract his country, one of the world's largest issuers, from the pact.
