The gathering of nations in Lima, Peru on Monday has the best chance to seal a global warming deal in Paris next December 2015.

The 12-day talk of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will tackle the scientific warnings and deliver a draft text to be adopted in Paris in 2015. The draft text will include the commitment of countries in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions without compromising the economic development of poor countries.

Tony de Brum, the foreign minister of the Marshall Islands, said that he believes that everyone sees an opportunity to change the current situation now.

There have been numerous and growing evidences that climate change is really dangerous to all of us and countries are not cooperating to fight it. The long-time talk on climate change gained momentum in the past two months because world's top carbon polluters (China, the U.S. and the European Union) agree to limit their carbon dioxide emissions in the next 10 to 15 years.

Diplomats and observers are hopeful with the Lima talks after U.S. and China agreed on November 12 that they will work together to cut the carbon pollution.

China committed to cut its carbon pollution by 2030 or earlier and to boost its use of zero emission energy to 20 percent by 2030. The U.S. agreed to dwindle its emissions between 26 percent and 28 percent by 2025.

The EU, the third biggest polluter, also pledged to reduce emissions by 40 percent by 2030.

However, other major CO2 emitters India, Japan, Russia and Australia have not yet presented pledges for the new deal.

U.N.'s top climate official Christiana Figueres said that advanced commitments had given the the climate talk a boost.

"It is hugely encouraging that well ahead of next year's first-quarter deadline, countries have already been outlining what they intend to contribute to the Paris agreement. This is also a clear sign that countries are determined to find common ground," she said in a statement.
