Last minute Climate Deal in Durban

A last minute deal was reached at the climate deal in Durban. With the Kyoto protocol due to run out shortly, there were fears that the current climate talks were going to end in deadlock. However, through the night talks have come to the agreement to extend the carbon-cutting target in the Kyoto Protocol, until a new agreement is reached and bought into enforcement in 2020.

One important agreement has been the establishment of a so called green fund to help poorer countries develop greener technology and cut carbon emissions.
