Cop26 talks drift into overtime in push to save 1.5 Celsius goal

Climate Justice Activists at the Cop26 Gates asking delegates as they make final decisions, "Are You With Us Or With Fossil Fuels?" during the final day of the Cop26 summit in Glasgow which has now drifted into overtime and is set to continue today. Picture date: Friday November 12, 2021.

Two weeks of Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow blew past a deadline on Friday as the conference president called on countries to make a final push to secure commitments that would rein in the rising temperatures that threaten the planet.

With a deal now expected sometime today, there remained tough-talking to be done on issues such as the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies, carbon markets and financial help for poor countries to tackle climate change.
