against better bremen we'll bring you all of the gold. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us marathon u.n. climate talks in madrid are coming to an end with agreement on some key points but the most contentious issues still on resolved after more than 2 weeks negotiators have failed to deliver a firm agreement on how to handle carbon markets where big emitters can buy the right to pollute from countries that emit less than their fair share delegates from nearly 200 countries past declarations calling for ambitious climate protection targets but a decision on rules for regulating carbon emissions is now postponed to next year. and let's listen to what the president of cop 25 kind of nash mitt had to say in her closing remarks. course it is sad that we
3:02 pm
didn't reach a final agreement that we were this close. i appreciate all the effort and the long hours that we've invested trying to achieve it we were so close. but as many of you know today we have taken concrete steps forward with concrete resolutions that fill us with hope hope that we are now closer to establishing carbon market rules and. a base with ecological integrity that considers the needs of everyone the implementation we so desperately need and one that respects the different requirements of the countries. we have to move ahead faster and better. louise osborne has been covering the conference for us in madrid and she joins us for more hi louise can you explain to us what exactly has been decided and what has not.
3:03 pm
so what they basically decided was that they wanted to enhance the ambition to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in countries all over the world this was something that n.g.o.s and civil sorry civil society were quite happy about they wanted to see countries take that into account at the moment emissions would rise too high even with the targets that countries have said so that was one thing the carbon markets of course as we've just heard. did not work out they were here for 2 weeks trying to come to an agreement and they just weren't able to do that so it's being pushed to next year why couldn't they find agreement on that point. there was some contentious issues around for example double counting so the idea
3:04 pm
that a country that was buying. you know carbon credits so that they could have made more would be able to count those reductions within their own reductions but then also the country that was selling those emissions might also be able to count them so they were trying to come up with stringent regulation to make sure that these carbon markets would actually have an impact and help with regards to lowering greenhouse gas emissions that's something that they just couldn't agree on and there were also countries like brazil for example who have old credits under the old system who are hoping to keep those in play and a lot of countries who are against that. who is looking at what has come out of this summit on the whole what are the reactions that you've been seeing there are activists so pleased with what's been agreed. i mean i think this are less upset that they were yesterday yesterday they were calling
3:05 pm
the cop an outright failure because that was a document coming through a text where countries were saying that they would just accept the targets that are already been set rather than trying to increase ambitions that was then changed today and said that that is definitely a positive step they're also positive about the fact that carbon markets have been moved on because they don't want to see carbon markets in the paris agreement many of them. so positive in that way but they're still very disappointed they see this as a watered down deal and they want to see concrete action taken and it's not just it's just not being done yet. you know we saw delegates negotiating for more than 2 weeks going into overtime they couldn't reach agreement as you said on the question of carbon markets it begs the question are these types of summits really the way to drive a global action on climate change. well i think the thing that we have
3:06 pm
to remember is that these climate conferences bring together almost $200.00 nations which is something that they just wouldn't do normally it also brings the issue of climate change to the forefront of you know public view we can all see that it's happening and that is definitely important some people say that perhaps it needs to be changed slightly because obviously the negotiations that were taking place were running into the night delegates were probably not at the best when when talking about these issues and maybe that needs to be done more kind of on the sidelines in bilateral agreements rather than just at these big conferences. and reporting from the u.n. climate talks there in madrid thank you so much. let's check in now on some other stories making news around the world china is suspending plans to slap
