Climate Central: Uncertainty lingered in the latest draft on key issues, including issues of financing for poorer countries, and on how an agreement would differently affect richer and poorer nations. But consensus appeared to growing on what once had been stubborn divides. "We are extremely close to the finishing line,' said the president of the negotiations, French foreign minister Laurent Fabius, before the 27-page draft was handed to delegates from nearly 200 nations. "It's time to come to an agreement.' ...

Telegraph: The Paris climate deal will be "meaningless" and will fail to avert dangerous global warming unless countries agree to pledge deeper emissions cuts every five years, the EU has warned, as talks look set to overrun their Friday deadline.

Reuters: To conclude a landmark global climate agreement expected to set off a trillion-dollar overhaul of the world's high-carbon energy system, there will be no vote, no show of hands, no acclamation.

Reuters: From Pacific islanders losing their homelands to encroaching seas, to indigenous people forced from their forests in the name of conservation, human rights are already being violated by both climate change impacts and solutions, U.N. rights experts said. At climate talks in Paris, tasked with hammering out a new deal to tackle global warming by the end of this week, the experts called for strong language on respecting human rights and the rights of indigenous people to be included in the agreement....
