Last month’s international climate negotiations in Cancun showed progress on many fronts, especially in ensuring greater transparency in countries’ emissions reporting.

Jennifer Morgan and our team of climate experts look back on the keys to progress in Cancun, and analyze the major decisions.

The Cancun climate talks concluded today with countries agreeing by consensus to move ahead with an international agreement on climate change.

Open Climate Network (OCN), a global network that will track countries’ progress toward cutting emissions and providing climate finance, was launched this week at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties in Cancun, Mexico.
