Deal would for first time commit all countries including developing nations to cutting emissions.
Negotiators adopted a course of action on Sunday that would for the first time commit every country to cutting the greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change.
The decision reached at United Nations climate talks on Sunday was seen as a significant first step towards reaching a global climate change deal in Paris at the end of next year although negotiators acknowledged much of the hard work remained ahead.
It is also far from clear that the actions sketched out on Sunday would be enough to limit warming to the internationally agreed limit of 2C above pre-industrial levels or to protect poor countries from climate change.
I think this is good, and I think this moves us forward, Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, Perus environment minister and the chair of the talks, said.
The deal struck early Sunday now officially known as the Lima Call for Climate Action - would for the first time require all countries, rising economies as well as rich countries, to take action on climate change.
