Hundreds of negotiators are gathering in Ghana’s capital to resume talks on a climate treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol when it expires.

The weeklong conference began Thursday in Accra, with more than 1,000 delegates in attendance.

Talks in the city located in Ghana’s south will focus on pushing developing countries to join the fight against rising greenhouse gas emissions, but come at a difficult time, when many of the world’s poor are more concerned with the cost of food and fuel.
