He spoke to Modi hours before US Secretary for State John Kerry and environment minister Prakash Javadekar held a 45-minute meeting in Paris. Sources said the meeting between Kerry and Javadekar failed to reach a compromise on a number of issues, including redefining the differentiation between the rich and the developing world in "changed circumstances" and a proposed review and verification of climate action plans. "There was very little agreement on most issues," a negotiator from a developing country said. --Chetan Chauhan, Hindustan Times, 10 December 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_obama-kerry.jpg
