Negotiators have agreed on a draft pact to limit global warming, raising hopes that decades of arguments will finally end with a historic deal in Paris. The dense 48-page document outlines the need for urgent action in combating climate change, covering issues including emissions reduction, loss and damage, finance, technology, and transparency of action and support. But many of the most contentious issues remain unresolved. The draft has been slimmed down from its initial 100 pages, reached in Geneva earlier this year. China's chief negotiator Su Wei says big progress has been made. And in their next stage of negotiations, they will build on this basic consensus.
