At the UN climate summit taking place in Madrid from Dec. 2-13, negotiators from 195 countries and the European Union have failed to agree on rules that would enable the start of a new global market to trade greenhouse gas emissions. Ministers gathered for the summit have been asked to resolve the deadlock between developed countries and emerging economies. Countries like Bangladesh still believe a decision will be reached at the summit.
