we know that the kyoto protocol was widely ignored.o if we do have something that is legally binding, if they manage to agree to anything, how on earth could it work? how could it possibly be policed? >> we're not even at that, remotely close to that stage yet. what is happening in lima is all about creating a clear, direct, and concise road map to paris next year, that's when a global treaty must be signed by all the countries involved in this. if it isn't then all bets are off as far as an unified approach to tackling climate change. the problem here is that trying to find the element there is take us on that path have proven very difficult. they have the road map to get there, but all these tiny issues are proving insurmountable so far and that's something that they'll have to push on. it will be kicked down the road the next opportunity to talk about it is in geneva in february, and there will be another one later in the year. they'll still be talking about all of this as the year goes on in the build up to paris, but they need to

unfortunately in the kyoto protocol it's been the u.s., the european union or other countries.o is to finance these changes and who is to pay for poorer countries to get ready for climate events in the future? that exploded out in the open. we had venezuela and china opposing the issues out there. it took some last minute edits to get to the point where they were ready to let this go forward to negotiations next year that are supposed to finish up in paris. >> what happens in paris now? it seems like if you kick the can down the road somewhere, you have to have meetings before paris. >> they'll have meetings before paris, they hope to hammer out a deal that will cut emissions after 2020 and beyond. but before that there's a lot of wok to be done, figuring out exactly how it's going to work who's going to pay for it, how much countries are going to cut. they have to voluntarily have to say how much carbon diesmed to cut in the future -- cash bon dioxide to cut in the future. name and shame, although people involved don't like to call it that. >> visit pbs.org for more. >> finall
