Ahead of the summit, more than 175 countries have tabled pledges (known as intended nationally determined contributions, or INDCs) to cut their carbon emissions which, if enacted, would be enough to limit global warming to 2.7C.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Despite pumping as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as the next four biggest polluters combined, China will use this week's UN conference in Paris to stake a global leadership claim on climate change. Six years on from the disappointing Copenhagen conference, where China was seen by the West as largely impeding a binding agreement, Beijing is bringing a raft of ambitious commitments to the table.
