This will be the 20th yearly session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 20) to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) and the 10th session of the Meeting of the Parties (CMP 10) to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol
Officials from over 190 nations, including India, on Monday Dec 01,2014 converged
here at the UN climate summit to negotiate on a new ambitious and
binding deal to cut global carbon emissions, in the last chance to reach
on a historic deal to be signed next year in Paris.
Negotiations have been ongoing for 20 years, as the UN continues to
bring its member countries together to help curb the damaging effects of
coal burning and petroleum use, among other sources of pollution.
During the 12—day summit in the Peruvian capital, countries will put
forward what they plan to contribute to the 2015 pact in the form of
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) by the first
quarter of 2015, well in advance of the Paris conference in December.
SAARC emerged as a united force at the ongoing climate conference and put across their stand
Nepal made a statement onbehalf of the SAARC Bloc bringing out its common position which strictly adheres to the basic tenets of the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol
The SAARC member countries - India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Sri Lanka,Bhutan,Nepal,Maldives and Afghanistan jointly asked 'Rich Nations'to fulfill their promises of emission cuts during the pre-zero phase as this action alone would convince the rest of the world

Global climate talks involving 192 nations saved from collapse
Global
climate talks have been rescued from the brink of collapse – but leave a
gaping loophole which could allow countries to continue polluting the
atmosphere.
Negotiations
overran by 31 hours as politicians from 192 countries struggled to
reach agreement on the ground rules for a new climate treaty.
A
fortnight-long United Nations summit in Peru had aimed to lay the
framework for new international laws to slow the pace of global warming.
But
the discussions became bad tempered as countries bickered over who
should bear responsibility for reducing carbon emissions, whether richer
nations should reduce pollution more quickly and how much aid they
should pay to help poor countries adapt to global warming.
Eventually, they agreed to a watered-down deal which postpones the most difficult decisions for 12 months.
The
final treaty, which is due to be signed in Paris in 12 months, will be
the first international climate agreement since the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
