Environment Minister Peter Kent said a new global climate agreement could be reached by 2015. This comes after a UN summit in Durban, South Africa. 

Parties at the conference agreed to begin negotiations on a new accord.

This would place all participating countries under the same binding commitments to control greenhouse gases.

The 1997 Kyoto Protocol will be extended under the Durban Platform. This was set to expire at the end of next year. The Canadian government has been opposing the protocol. It said it would not renew its commitment to the accord. The new climate deal would take effect by 2020 at the latest.

She says she’s different from other artists because her personal life is private from the media. She says she hits a balance of being very private but also very honest.

The singer was also nominated for six Grammys last week.

They have also promised to strengthen their child protection policies.
