UNFCCC Climate Talks in Tianjin: What’s the Big Deal?

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) climate talks started this Monday, October 4 and will continue until this Saturday, October 9. This week of high-level meetings among representatives from about 200 countries is extremely important and could "make or break" the upcoming COP16 climate summit in Cancun in December, according to tcktcktck, a climate change global alliance.

The representatives are meeting to discuss questions such as: “Will billions of dollars of aid pledged in the Copenhagen Accord be honored? Will China, the world's biggest polluter, step forward as an unlikely climate hero? Will the multiple "gigatonne gap" between safe levels of atmospheric CO2 and pledged reductions finally be acknowledged?”
