negotiators immediately broke up into hurdles and we got a rare glimpse of the bargaining that normally happens behind closed doors. the american envoy, john kerry, deep in discussion with china's chief negotiator, xie zhenhua. arguing, line by line, our after an hour and eventually the man in the hot seat, alok sharma, called everyone together to make a last appeal for cooperation. we have had two incredibly intensive weeks of negotiations in glasgow and we arrive at what i believe is the moment of truth. and this is the moment of truth for our planet and it's a moment of truth for our children and our grandchildren. while the real world is facing fires, floods and future disasters, it does feel bizarre that in here they are arguing over individual words about fossil fuels, climate policy and the future of international aid. but that is how it works,

so the first draft of the agreement, that had to be amended. so did the second and we are now on to the third. who knows if it'll be the last. of all the disagreements it is helpful the poorest countries that remains one of the most serious. they say the rich nations that caused climate change should be providing far more assistance. thea;r providing far more assistance. they romised providing far more assistance. they promised $100 _ providing far more assistance. tte: promised $100 billion providing far more assistance. t“te: promised $100 billion a providing far more assistance. tt21: promised $100 billion a year and they haven't delivered it. in fact they haven't delivered it. in fact they haven't delivered it. in fact they have inserted language, the most peculiar language saying they apologise that they haven't delivered it. what are they coming here to do? share delivered it. what are they coming here to do?— here to do? are the talks getting anywhere? _ here to do? are the talks getting anywhere? some _ here to do? are the talks getting anywhere? some are _ here to do? are the talks getting anywhere? some are now- here to do? are the talks getting i anywhere? some are now worried. here to do? are the talks getting - anywhere? some are now worried. but for heaven's sake, don't kill this moment— for heaven's sake, don't kill this moment try— for heaven's sake, don't kill this moment by asking for more text, different— moment by asking for more text, different text, deleting this, deleting that. everyone has been heard _ deleting that. everyone has been heard try— deleting that. everyone has been heard by the presidency. it is now crunch time _ heard by the presidency. it is now crunch time and _ heard by the presidency. it is now crunch time and we _ heard by the presidency. it is now crunch time and we will— heard by the presidency. it is now crunch time and we will soon - heard by the presidency. it is now crunch time and we will soon see | heard by the presidency. it is now- crunch time and we will soon see who is prepared to compromise.

yes we do have a deal, these are live pictures and you can see alloc sharma behind the microphone at the translator for xie zhenhua, chief negotiator for china, tells us there is a deal. so for all the last—minute talks and the huddles we have seen in the room and a lot of it seemed animated indeed, withjohn kerry and the chinese delegation, things have been agreed. the objections of the indian delegation have been ironed out. i think what you are going to hear in a minute is alloc sharma formally opening the final plenary, informal plenary of the cop26 summit and one by one they are going to go through these three documents. remember, there is one

relating to kyoto and he will hear him talk about cp which is the key of the documents and there is cp which is the paris agreement and then there is the cop26 text. don't be confused if he brings the hammer down on one document and then opens up down on one document and then opens up another. he, has president has responsibility for all three of these techs, which are living text and have been negotiating as part of the discussions here in glasgow. but a lot of responsibility. we should just talk about alloc sharma, there has been a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. it is not easy to bring 196 countries together and find a compromise. all the countries have to compromise and he is not here a brokerfor have to compromise and he is not here a broker for borisjohnson and borisjohnson's here a broker for borisjohnson and boris johnson's attempts to here a broker for borisjohnson and borisjohnson's attempts to make this summer to success. he is the brokerfor this summer to success. he is the broker for each this summer to success. he is the brokerfor each and every this summer to success. he is the broker for each and every party at the summit in glasgow, from the

smallest marshall islands, all the way to india, china and the united states. he has to balance interest. and he personally have been acting as sherpas taking documents from one room to another as they fight over a word or phrase and how it looks to one party or another. there was a real humdinger of a row on thursday about urges and requests and whether urges were stronger than requests and in the view of the lawyer who was presented at an informal press conference, request was a better word to use in the document because it was an active verb and so something that had more strength than urges. it comes down to every word and every, they fight over at a summit like this. that is the pressure that he has been under over the course of the last two weeks. so while we wait for him to bring the

proceedings to a start, let's quickly remind ourselves about what is in this third draught agreement. starting with the key paragraphs relating to the phasing out of coal and fossil fuel subsidies, that remains in the text despite india's reservations, it is still in there and has been slightly softened again with the words accelerating towards the phase—out of unabated coal and inefficient fossil fuels while recognising, and this was added overnight, the need for a just transition. that meaning help has to be supplied for workers and those fossil fuel industries. be supplied for workers and those fossilfuel industries. changes be supplied for workers and those fossil fuel industries. changes that looked to be the final compromise. 0n future emissions targets, there is a request for nations to return to the next cop in 2022 with more ambitious pledges. that is called the accelerator model. that is still in there. one finance, significant strengthening of the language in some areas. the dialogue, every two

years and add up to agent —— adaptation finance and the doubling of adaptation finance in recognition of adaptation finance in recognition of others who have already doubled. and going forward, there will be a greater balance between mitigation finance and adaptation finance. mitigation getting rid of dirty fuels. adaptation, changing economies to deal with the climate change countries are already facing. also they will be working towards a post—2025 finance goal with the aim of agreeing that amount sometime in 2024. but the most substantial changes in the document relate to the section, loss and damage. this is what has been the most contentious, the compensation that vulnerable and poor countries that have demanded for the destruction already caused by climate change. there will be a dialogue going forward to discuss the arrangements forward to discuss the arrangements for funding forward to discuss the arrangements forfunding of forward to discuss the arrangements for funding of activities, forward to discuss the arrangements forfunding of activities, to

forward to discuss the arrangements for funding of activities, to avert, minimize and to address loss and damage. it is the first time it has appeared in a climate text. they have been discussing it since paris. no amount of money discussed for those countries for whom it is an existential crisis and there is the satisfaction about the text, but it is in their and it is, in the words ofjohn kerry, extremely significant. we can speak tojean paul adam in the seychelles. he's the director of climate change, natural resource management and technology at the united nations economic commission for africa. your islands, the seychelles are already being affected, does the agreement is about to be approved, does it go far enough for you? the agreement — does it go far enough for you? the agreement is _ does it go far enough for you? tt2 agreement is a compromise. the problem with a compromise when you

are dealing with issues as x potential for island states is you are putting that existence at risk through the compromise. the whole purpose of the agreement is that it should be science —based, i think thatis should be science —based, i think that is at the forefront of the text in glasgow and the science tells us they have to be 1.5 to save coral reefs, for example. so the problem with the compromise is that it doesn't go far enough on the ambition itself. the problem was there before glasgow, because the pledges that have been made before were not honoured in terms of the actual cutting of magicians. and the pledges going forward, also not strong enough. secondly, on finance, there is a huge gap in developing countries that need that support to be able to address the immediate needs and also build the resilience going forward. this problem is

further heightened in the context of the pandemic. the lack of meaningful finance coming out of this agreement is one of the huge challenges. we can talk positively about the inclusion of text around loss and damage, but in terms of the agreement, what is going to be delivered in the immediate 12 months after glasgow, i think we are short and there is a big gap to be filled. we are watching the stage, do forgive me if i interrupt you to go to the beginning of the formal proceedings. while we await that, could you explain to me what instructions your team were given here? you say it was a compromise, alok sharma said it was a green thread that was hanging around all these texts, holding them together and if they started pulling at that thread then the whole thing might unravel. is that the balance your team has had to make, whether the

commitment you have got on coal and on fossilfuel is commitment you have got on coal and on fossil fuel is so important that the references to a dialogue over loss of damage, to the finance things, that there is the compromise thatis things, that there is the compromise that is worth having? t0 things, that there is the compromise that is worth having?— that is worth having? to be clear, the un is rrot _ that is worth having? to be clear, the un is not part _ that is worth having? to be clear, the un is not part of _ that is worth having? to be clear, the un is not part of the - the un is not part of the negotiating team, but we give advice and we give guidance. certainly i think what has shaped the view of a number of african delegations, developing countries is that you have to recognise what will be achievable and it is better to achieve, get some progress and zero progress. but i think that most of the delegations will feel that we have not achieved as much as we should have. the positive steps forward have to be taken in the context of the additional actions that urgently need to be taken.

leading up to cop 27, to be held in africa, a few of those issues that need to be progressed to seeing meaningful movement, notjust on the pledges but on the actions that will deliver on the pledges in terms of the ambition and in terms of the financing. there are some small wins that have moved the dial forward in terms of the narrative and the language, but i think in terms of people who are on the ground fighting climate change, this doesn't mean any new resources or very little and the double of adaptation finance is a significant win, but in terms of the scale of the knee, we are still short. african countries are spending up to 10% of their gdp to fight climate change. that is much more than they have been able to mobilize to fight covid. so there are gaps and the work is in progress. it is

covid. so there are gaps and the work is in progress.— covid. so there are gaps and the work is in progress. it is very good to talk to you- _ work is in progress. it is very good to talk to you. we _ work is in progress. it is very good to talk to you. we have _ work is in progress. it is very good to talk to you. we have just - work is in progress. it is very good to talk to you. we have just seen i to talk to you. we have just seen alok sharma going to talk to the indian delegation with a copy of the text in his hand and pointing to a particular paragraph and the indian delegation nodded, actually what is written is to their satisfaction. i suspect he is about to begin, as people take their seats. with me is richard black, the director of the energy and climate. we are about there? . . . energy and climate. we are about there? . , . , ., energy and climate. we are about there? . , . , there? that is what everyone is ho - in: there? that is what everyone is hoinu in there? that is what everyone is hoping in the — there? that is what everyone is hoping in the room. _ there? that is what everyone is hoping in the room. we - there? that is what everyone is hoping in the room. we had - there? that is what everyone is hoping in the room. we had a l hoping in the room. we had a resounding call from everybody, everybody but india and to a lesser extent china but they said this is a package we can live with, we want to go home and start implementing. richard, i was talking about alok sharma and their weight on his

shoulders, he has had a pretty exhausting few days, does he stop these proceedings with a niggling doubt in his mind that someone could leave him with egg on his face? he is looking remarkably calm considering the couple of weeks he has had _ considering the couple of weeks he has had in — considering the couple of weeks he has had in the year he has had. the ending _ has had in the year he has had. the ending of— has had in the year he has had. the ending of previous decker—macro, presidents — ending of previous decker—macro, presidents have been more haggard than he _ presidents have been more haggard than he is _ presidents have been more haggard than he is now.— presidents have been more haggard than he is now. have the indians got somethin: than he is now. have the indians got something out _ than he is now. have the indians got something out of— than he is now. have the indians got something out of the _ than he is now. have the indians got something out of the they _ than he is now. have the indians got something out of the they raised? . something out of the they raised? what is more important is the signal that heading into next year, they wouldn't have haggled this hard if they thought support would be available for them to transition. but a lot of their words, they are not facilities channelling money to countries to consider coal phase—out. that is what this showing, it wasn'tjust india, south

africa raised concerns, not to the extent they wanted to throw this whole thing out. as have other countries from the like—minded developing country grouping, which is largely emerging economies. it shows the state of the reality and the challenge of climate action on the challenge of climate action on the ground. that is going to have to change next year in the g7, the g20 in places like the world bank. richard, there is a breaking line of news tonight that the us and china are talking to the indians about a quicker phase—out of coal, what do you understand is going on there? t you understand is going on there? i don't have any of the details, but we could — don't have any of the details, but we could look at the deal was with south _ we could look at the deal was with south africa, it is basically a targeted _ south africa, it is basically a targeted intervention. you have a situation — targeted intervention. you have a situation and we can help you with some _ situation and we can help you with some targeted money. indeed, the amount— some targeted money. indeed, the amount of— some targeted money. indeed, the amount of coal burning has been going _ amount of coal burning has been going down, even though over the past five _ going down, even though over the past five or— going down, even though over the past five or so years they have been opening _ past five or so years they have been opening the — past five or so years they have been opening the occasional coal—fired

friends, it is now decision time and the choices you are set to make our vitally important. they launched a decade of increasing ambition across mitigation, adaptation, finance and loss and damage. marking the road to keeping 1.5 degrees within reach, achieving the global goal on adaptation, delivering on the $100 billion goal and selecting the new quantify goal for climate finance. these decisions conclude the outstanding elements of the paris rule book, enabling full and effective implementation of the paris agreement. and they place an unprecedented focus on the issue of loss and damage. collectively, i believe the decisions you are about to make demonstrate the continued

relevance and leadership of this multilateral process. they promote inclusive climate action, recognising the important role played by civil society, indigenous people's, local communities, youth and other stakeholders. they complement the impressive commitments and actions of all those whojoined us in glasgow, driving progress on coal, cars, cache entries. we met here under extraordinary circumstances and the negotiations have been far from easy, i can tell you that, definitely. but i have been struck by the determination you have all shown to get our work done, to forge consensus on an unprecedented agenda. and ultimately agree something meaningfulfor people agenda. and ultimately agree something meaningful for people and our planet. each and every one of you and the nations you represent has stepped here in glasgow, agreeing to do what it takes to keep 1.5 alive. for that i am infinitely

grateful. it is now a great honour to take us through the formal adoption proceedings. i now declare open the 12th meeting of cop26. the order in which the agenda items will be taken up is posted on the screen. so first, i now invite the cops to adopt the decision entitled, glasgow climate pact contained in document. i see china is seeking an intervention. i invite china to take the floor.

oppose this additional last—minute change, weakening the outcome of glasgow, but we are disappointed both about the process and about this last—minute change. this will not bring us closer to 1.5, but make it more to reach it. applause thank you. thank you. thank you, switzerland for your intervention. the european union wishes to take the floor, i give the flow to the european union. thank you. it is no secret to this gathering that the european union
