The ministers conducted deliberations during a two-day meeting in the eastern German city of Potsdam. Also in attendance were ministers from Brazil, China, India, Mexico and Southย Africa.

The Stern report estimated that climate change could cost between 5% and 20% of annual gross domesticย product.
