Do not hold much hope for any resolution and even if there is the future price in CW will still be very steep. This article does show that some movement is being made, but unfortunately in my country, political leaders still can not see what is really happening and going to happen.
As what happened with the antismoking campaigns there were many false starts and then even many long decades before federal and local laws got tough enough to help those who wish not to smoke.  In the same way I think similar action on the environment. Here is hoping that even if nothing gets done from the UN stand point it will get enough attention that local and federal policies will make swifter progress.

“This is not the end of our process, but rather the beginning," Luis Alfonso de Alba, the U.N. special envoy for the climate summit told reporters in Brussels this month. "We need to double or triple the commitments that we have on the table in order to reach our goals ... The bar is very high, the ambition needs to scale up as substantially.”
