COP 19 President Marcin Korolec highlighted the UN system as a catalyst in mobilizing sustainable development, outlining linkages between the post-2015 development agenda process and negotiations under the ADP.

So corrupt countries want to be paid by successful countries!
The planet stopped warming more than a decade ago. Meanwhile, since 2001 the CO2 level has increased by 29% of the increase prior to 2001. Change to the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide has never had a significant influence on climate and never will. At http://averageglobaltemperature.blogspot.com/ see an eye-opening graph and a simple equation that, with only one external forcing, calculates an average global temperature anomaly trend since 1610 and, with 90% accuracy (correlation coefficient = 0.95), calculates measured average global temperature anomalies since before 1900. See why the LIA and Global Warming both ended. CO2 change had no significant influence.
