called the point of no return, or following the path of hope. 0ur global science correspondent rebecca morellerid. can you give us an idea of what they hope for what achievements are from this because we already have a very broad set of targets but we don't necessarily have the tools to implement these targets? that's right. that is the big issue today here at the climate conference which really cut off with a bit of a buying at the beginning, the warnings that the window of opportunity is closing very quickly. the fact the time to act is now and governments are not really stepping up, their targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions are not high enough. under discussion here, this is the 25th round of these un meetings, that gives you an idea of how long you've been going on, negotiations are quite slow here. on the discussion over the next few weeks will be at the paris agreement of 2015 where the un basically said we should try and keep global temperature rises below 1.5 celsius. to stop the worst effects of climate change. also on the table is talk of money, is there enough money for cli
