1World leaders at the climate summit have finally reached a new agreement after two weeks of long and difficult talks.
2The final deal was signed late on Saturday night, almost two full days after the summit should have ended.
3Rich countries promised to give at least one hundred billion dollars every year to help poorer nations cope.
4This money will pay for clean energy projects and for protection against dangerous floods, storms, and rising seas.
5Many delegates warmly welcomed the deal, but some low-lying island nations called it far too weak and unfair.
6Protesters gathered outside the conference hall said the leaders had chosen fine words instead of real, lasting action.
7The deal asks every single country to report its progress each year and to promise deeper cuts in emissions.
8Meanwhile, many leading scientists warn that global temperatures are still rising much faster than the experts once feared.
9The next summit will be held in South America, where the new plan will be reviewed once again.
10For many young people watching around the world, these results will shape the future they will live in.
