Hoescaran Mountain, the highest mountain in Peru. Peru contains 71 percent of the rivers of tropical glaciers in the world, which is the source of water for millions of people, but 22 percent of the area of these rivers have disappeared in the last 30 years due to climate change


Meet negotiators from more than 190 countries Monday in the Peruvian capital of Lima to participate in the negotiations by the UN-sponsored efforts to address climate change.
The negotiations Lima last stop before negotiating the 2015 Paris conference, which is expected to witness a global agreement on climate change.
The negotiations have got a strong boost in the past two months, and after that promised more countries production of carbon - the United States, China and the European Union - that it intends to determine the carbon emissions in the last ten years or the next 15 years.
The European bargaining us Bardram "This promise sends an important message to the rest of the world that the progress of their projects to reduce carbon emissions at the earliest opportunity. We have 12 months, and time is short."
India and Japan and Russia are among the most productive countries of carbon that did not submit their proposals to now.
Governments and hopes that all States put its proposals before the Paris conference, so as to avoid failure that ended up with Copenhagen five years ago.
The goal sought by everyone is to reduce the emission of gases that cause global warming - mainly derived from fossil fuels - burning, which scientists say is causing rising temperatures on the planet.
The challenge for the countries of the world in this area is to find a formula for sharing the burden between rich Western countries on the one hand and emerging economies such as China and India on the other hand, and help vulnerable poor countries to natural disasters to protect themselves from rising sea levels, drought and other effects of global warming.
The previous agreement, the Kyoto Protocol signed in 1997, the industrialized countries only include, but today the increase in emissions in developing countries is essential.
He said Peruvian President Ollanta Humala, "It is necessary and urgent to build the largest coalition in history to address climate change."
The overall objective of the negotiations to keep the proportion of high temperatures less than two degrees Celsius, but some scientists say that this goal has become unrealistic, Temperatures have already risen by 0.8 degrees as it continues increasing in carbon emissions annually.
