"According to several people who were in a plenary session at the climate talks in Bonn, Germany, a Syrian delegate announced that the country was poised to send its ratification of the Paris agreement to the United Nations.

It is not clear what has changed, and the Syrian delegate who spoke Tuesday did not offer an explanation for the government’s decision."
