A major new UN report setting out the action needed to tackle the climate crisis is set to be released after marathon talks to agree its findings.

The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is expected to set out the rapid action required to curb global warming to 1.5C or below 2C, including deep cuts to fossil fuels with a switch to technology such as renewables.
