The endgame for the UN climate deal has begun with only a few days left until countries are expected to adopt a new agreement to tackle climate change.

Three major civil society groups demand that the UN climate talks follow through on leaders’ calls for action to help the world’s most vulnerable people.

Heads of States and representatives from almost 200 countries will gather in Paris to negotiate a new universal climate deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions and tackle climate change. The COP21 UN climate talks are a critical turning point.
El Niño is the world's biggest weather phenomenon, happening every few years when warm water collected in the western Pacific slosh back eastwards, affecting rain patterns and temperatures across the world.
