How and why stop climate change?

Climate change is blamed for devastating floods, drought and other extreme weather with negative impacts on habitats and humans. The UN climate talks in December 2011 did not stop the world from its dangerous path to a four degree temperature rise, but the principle that climate change should be tackled through international law was re-established. In addition, a “green climate fund” has been made operational. Is progress being made towards tackling climate change and what else should be done in your opinion?
