An exhausting international negotiation session on climate change concluded Sunday with an agreement among countries to take on more ambitious goals. That agreement, however, failed to resolve the main issues on the table, like creating rules for trading carbon emissions credits and helping developing countries pay for climate damages. 本次关于气候变化的国际谈判会议令人筋疲力尽，周日终于接近尾声。各国达成了一项协议，要设定更加宏伟的目标。但提交的主要议题在这项协议中并未得到解决，如制定碳排放信用交易规则，以及帮助发展中国家补偿其对气候造成的破坏。 Almost 200 countries at the two-week United Nations meeting known as COP25 did approve a statement calling on them to do more to fight climate change by next year, when the next round of national commitments to curb greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris climate agreement are due. 这次为期两周的联合国会议被称为《联合国气候变化框架公约》缔约方大会，与会的约200个国家都通过了一份声明，声明呼吁他们在明年之前采取更多措施来应对气候变化，届时《巴黎气候协定》中各国下一轮温室气体减排承诺将到期。 But delegates could hardly agree on much else at the longest meeting in the 25-year history of these annual climate talks, which overshot its scheduled end by more than 40 hours. |
