Explanation:
Historic agreement on climate change had marked a major milestone with close to 175 countries including India signing it on opening day. World leaders made it clear more action was needed. UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has indicated the world is in a race against time. The planet is heating up to record levels and glaciers are melting.
The agreement is to enter into force once 55 nations representing close to 55% of the global emissions have formally joined it, a process expected to take up till 2020.
China, the top carbon emitter in the world said it would finalise domestic procedures to ratify the agreement prior to the G20 summit in China in the month of September.
