Politico: Negotiators on Saturday released the final draft of a proposed deal that would unite the U.S. and the rest of the world in taking on the threat of catastrophic climate change, amid optimism that an agreement is finally within reach. The deal still needs approval from representatives of the U.S. and 195 other governments, which could continue wrangling over the fine print throughout the day or even into the night. But its success would be a major win for President Barack Obama, who has made climate...

COP21: NGOs react to prospective UN Paris climate deal

Climate Home: Reaction to a prospective Paris climate pact is pouring in from green groups and aid agencies. They welcome its aim to limit temperature rise to 1.5C if possible, a tightening of the previous 2C threshold for dangerous global warming. It sends a clear message that fossil fuels are on the way out, they say -- although more action is needed to make the goal a reality. For the world`s poor, the agreement represents "a frayed lifeline", says Oxfam. It doesn`t meet all their demands but provides...

ClimateWire: Climate change talks have gone into the final stretch, and despite early optimism about completing a global accord early, it now seems the negotiations will need a pair of elastic pants. For the second night in a row, diplomats jousted over phrases well past midnight, this time over a shortened but still-contentious 27-page draft text. By morning, all was quiet in the normally bustling halls as countries met in small groups so they could consult with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius later...
Climate deal unveiled in Paris, a 'historic turning point'

Reuters: French foreign minister Laurent Fabius presented a landmark global climate accord on Saturday, a "historic" measure for transforming the world's fossil fuel-driven economy within decades and turn the tide on global warming. At the tail end of the hottest year on record and after four years of fraught UN talks often pitting the interests of rich nations against poor, imperilled island states against rising economic powerhouses, Fabius urged officials from nearly 200 nations to support what he hopes...
