Even as participants and observers gear up for what could be a contentious round of climate talks, two things are clear. First, the world’s poorest are already suffering from the effects of climate change—and without concerted action, that suffering will grow worse as the planet heats up further. Second, the world is so divided about hot wars over geopolitics, and between industrial and developing economies, such action is harder to achieve.
