Nearly 200 nations miss a deadline to file plans on cutting climate emissions

NEARLY 200 nations missed a Monday deadline to file plans on how they will cut emissions of heat trapping gases.

The United Nations climate chief described the plans, known as the Nationally Determined Contributions, as “amongst the most important policy documents governments will produce this century.”

So far, only a dozen of the 195 nations that signed the 2015 Paris climate agreement have filed their national plans for cutting emissions by 2035.
