UN climate talks to go ahead

The UN climate conference scheduled on November 30 will go ahead as planned near despite the terror attacks that killed 129 people in the French capital, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said yesterday.

In Washington, an American official said President Barack Obama would participate in the meeting.

The talks aim at forging a post-2020 pact to curb greenhouse gases so that global warming does not exceed two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-industrial levels.
