From 1992 in Rio de Janeiro to 2015 in Paris, the nations across the globe had been meeting periodically under the aegis of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and making conscientious efforts to solve the environmental puzzle. In December 2015, the Conference of the Parties (COP21) met at Paris to discuss issues related to climate change and it emerged that there existed a deep divide between the viewpoints of the developed and the developing worlds. The developed world demanded a fresh approach towards what could be termed as the 'developed' world (with China emerging as the largest economy) and hold them equally accountable for climate change. The developing nations did not concur with this viewpoint and expressed that the developed world could not shy away from the responsibility of polluting the environment for the last 200 years or more. Because of this deadlock no common ground could be found between the warring nations. Amidst all this, all the nations unanimously agreed that climate change was a reality and it was the bounden duty of each nation - developed or developing - to undertake measures to arrest further damage. While doing so, all agreed, that the development of poor countries should not be stifled. It remained to be seen whether there would be any convergence of the diverse views of the developed and developing nations be reached? Furthermore, would the environment puzzle be ever solved?
