World leaders and
environmental experts have welcomed a UN climate deal that for the first time
targets fossil fuel as the key driver of global warming. However many expressed disappointment with
the agreement and warned that the world was still on course for disastrous
warming.
The summit reached deadlock
over coal power after India and China blocked a call for it to be completely
phased out. Instead the summit could
only agree that it would be “phased down”.
The UK, which hosted the
summit, hailed the deal as a “game-changing agreement”. But critics warned that it does not
deliver the key summit goal of limiting
global warming to 1.5C by the end of the century.
The summit did agree to
provide money for poorer countries to help them adapt to climate change, as
well as curbs to methane emissions and deforestation.
