China, that was once considered a straggler, has emerged as an important participant in averting the rising threat of global warming. This helped some 200 countries come together and pledge in unanimity to reduce emissions and curb the greenhouse gases. "You had a developing country and somebody who had been leading the efforts against us," said Secretary of State John F. Kerry, "that opened the door." Since the Copenhagen climate summit in 2009 failed to leave an impact, many countries started looking towards China, the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, to bring in the required shift, reported LA Times

"China wrecked the talks ... and insisted on an awful 'deal' so Western leaders would walk away carrying the blame," British environmental author Mark Lynas, one of the delegations in the summit, reported The Courier-Tribune
