UN negotiators agreed at climate talks Saturday to take stock next year of countries' efforts to cut fossil fuel emissions, as part of a pact to limit global warming.
The proposal was rejected only by Washington. Closing two weeks of talks in Bonn, some 12 hours into extra time, envoys gave the green light for what they termed the 2018 "Talanoa dialogue", to assess how much more needs to be done. Some delegates are positive that goals set in the meeting can be fully completed by the deadline in 2018.
