World leaders will be attempting to work out a universal agreement to curb the effects of climate change.

The organization that manages air traffic in Canada wants to implement new procedures for planes landing at the Calgary airport. Nav Canada is planning to hold public meetings, starting this week, on what's called 'required navigation performance' procedures. It's a satellite-based system which will allow some specially-equipped planes to descend quicker and more directly for landings. The first public meeting on the new procedures will be held Wednesday night at Ambrose University College.
