The G7 summit held in Baviera has reached an agreement on climate, establishing that global warming cannot exceed two degrees compared to pre-industrial levels, media reports have said.

The deal represented a victory for German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, who wanted to build a common front ahead of the Paris Climate Conference in December.

In its final communique’, the G7 asked for all countries to comply with the two degree temperature rise.

In the conclusive news conference, Merkel assured that the G7 countries were willing to enforce the long-term commitment taken in Copenaghen in 2009.

This would be to establish a 100 billion-dollar fund to pay for measures to fight climate changes in poorer countries.
