The debate that took place during the Paris summit highlighted many of the same issues that have long held up international progress on climate change policy. One of the greatest points of contention is the gap between the goals of developed countries and the costs they would impose on their developing counterparts. Industrialized nations are often at the forefront of calls for global reductions in carbon emissions, but many countries that are still developing are not keen to sacrifice their own economic growth to implement such changes without some level of assistance. Given the needs and the technological capabilities that exist, it is unlikely that the international community will bridge this divide sufficiently to meet the Paris summit's lofty goals anytime soon. Diversity has also made it difficult to reach any sort of binding global agreement that can be strictly enforced.
