BERLIN \u2014 Officials from around the globe begin three weeks of grueling climate talks Monday that will involve grapp<\/a>ling with a number of thorny political issues without the benefit of face-to-face meetings, due to pandemic restrictions.<\/p>\n

The U.N. climate office in Bonn, Germany, has designed a schedule of virtual sessions that will see negotiators share the burden of joining meetings before dawn, during the afternoon or late at night \u2014 depending on their respective time zones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not ideal at all,\u201d said Marianne Karlsen, who chairs one of the two international bodies holding talks. \u201cWe wanted to have all these interactions that we have when we are in an in-person setting, but we do not have any other options.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tosi Mpanu Mpanu, who chairs the second body at the talks, said that although negotiators would not be able to encourage each other \u201cwith a friendly tap on the shoulder,\u201d he hopes that \u201dwe\u2019re going to be engaging on substantive issues and really try to make progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that we send a clear message to the world that we are very much engaged to resolving the Paris rulebook and to tackle this climate change conundrum, and that we have nothing to hide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Negotiations will focus on resolving some of the outstanding issues arising from the 2015 Paris climate accord, including rules for international carbon markets, harmonizing countries\u2019 timeframes for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing aid to developing nations. Progress on all of those issues is seen as key to making the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow in November a success. However, due to concerns about the format, no official decisions are expected at the virtual talks that run until June 17.<\/p>\n

The Glasgow meeting will be a key test for international efforts to curb global warming before it reaches critical levels in the coming decades.<\/p>\n

Signatories of the Paris accord agreed to limit the rise in average temperatures to well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit), ideally no more than 2.7 F, by the end of the century compared with pre-industrial times. But with global warming already at about 1.2 2.2 F, scientists say drastic steps are needed to cut the amount of carbon dioxide and other planet-heating gases released into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Concerns have been expressed that unless the coronavirus pandemic is firmly beaten back by fall, the U.N. summit could be delayed for a second time, or held online, a format that many developing countries object to.<\/p>\n

But former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is President Joe Biden\u2019s special envoy on climate change, has said he expects the Glasgow summit to go ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely do,\u201d Kerry told The Associated Press in mid-May. \u201cAnd I think great steps will be taken to help make sure it does. I think it\u2019s very important that it does.\u201d<\/p>\n
