UK urges COP26 nations to adopt 'balanced' climate deal

COP26 President Alok Sharma urges delegates to accept a draft summit decision, saying the 'balanced' deal at the UN climate talks 'really moves things forward for everyone'

A new draft text urged nations to accelerate efforts to phase-out of unfiltered coal and "inefficient" fossil fuel subsidies

Britain on Saturday urged compromise among feuding COP26 delegates as it touted a "balanced" package to help avert the worst effects of climate change in what is meant to be the Glasgow summit's final hours.

The delegates in Glasgow are trying to hammer out how to implement the 2015 Paris Agreement goals to limit temperature rises to 1.5-2 degrees Celsius.
