The president of the Cop26 summit in Glasgow has admitted a 'small number of key issues' remain in finalising a climate agreement.

Alok Sharma's urging countries to 'get it done' today, in the final hours of the conference.

But campaigners say the draft deal waters down commitments to phase out fossil fuels.

Former President Mary Robinson thinks failing to limit global warming has serious consequences:

"If you're younger than 60, it's likely you'll witness the total destabilisation of life as we know it: crop failures, fracturing economies, hundreds of millions of people fleeing regions made uninhabitable by extreme heat, by flooding or by permanent drought."
