UN members agree climate deal at Lima talks | |
(35 minutes later) | |
United Nations members have reached an agreement to tackle climate change after negotiations ran into the weekend in the Peruvian capital Lima. | |
The president of the meeting said delegates had approved a framework for setting national pledges. | |
The deal puts off many critical details until a summit in Paris next year. | |
Environmental groups criticised the deal as a weak and ineffectual compromise, saying it weakened international climate rules. | |
The talks proved tough because of divisions between rich and poor countries over the scale and scope of plans to tackle global warming. |
