There has been slow progress at the UN Cop27 climate conference where countries have come together over the last two weeks to try to agree action on climate change.

With less than 72 hours to go before proceedings draw to a close in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, some delegates “began to discuss the possibility the summit would go overtime into the weekend”, reported Reuters. Nations are “snagged on issues including funding for developing nations to combat and adapt to climate change”.
