Nearly 200 countries, including China and the US, which are the world’s leading producers of greenhouse gas, have adopted rules designed to boost the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Officials at the United Nations talks, which took place in Poland, agreed universal rules on emissions reductions. They also provided poor countries with assurances that they would receive financial support for climate change adaptation. However, the final text of the agreement omitted a previous reference to specific emissions cuts by 2030. The Paris deal, he said, "is alive and kicking, despite a rise in populism and nationalism." The US has been pushing hard against any new international deal aimed at reducing emissions.
