Al Jazeera: About 40,000 negotiators from nearly 200 countries are descending on the French capital for the UN conference on climate change or COP 21. The decisions they make will have a major impact on how we live our lives and those of future generations. Scientists have warned that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, we will pass the threshold after which climate change will become catastrophic and irreversible. That threshold is two degrees Celcius above pre-industrial levels, and scientists...

New York Times: As world leaders meet in Paris on Monday to kick off two weeks of talks aimed at shaping safe targets for emissions of greenhouse gases, Bill Gates will be in town, as well, to announce a modest first step toward bolstering the basic energy research and technology development that will be needed to meet those targets affordably.

Reuters: Next week, in the waning days of what is set to be the hottest year on record, world leaders meet on the outskirts of Paris for a summit that seeks nothing less than to steer the global economy away from its ever-growing reliance on fossil fuels. The challenge is enormous and has proven elusive in the past.
