U.N.talks in Madrid were meant to hammer out final rules of Paris climate accord. That's not happening. Not yet, anyway. nyti.ms/2EgQYsX
This is the essential question from these negotiations: Do country delegations represent the interests of their people, and how do they face them on return?
"face our people back home" twitter.com/LDCChairUNFCCC…
At #COP25 we must ensure an ambitious outcome so that we can face our peoples back home. We're deeply concerned that text does not refer to parties submitting ambitious revised NDCs by 2020. Current NDCs are not in line with science and do not put the world on a 1.5°C pathway.

U.S. is accused of using its last year at Paris agreement negotiations to block the creation of a fund to compensate vulnerable countries for vast economic damages. State Dept response: "The U.S. govt is the largest humanitarian donor in the world and we respond based on needs" twitter.com/CANIntl/status…
@harjeet11: USA is holding the progress on loss and damage finance hostage just because it is interested in only covering its own administration and polluting industries. Whatever little progress we made is also stuck because of the bullying and blocking that has happened.
