COP27 negotiators still seeking deal on final day

The two-week COP27 climate summit in Egypt is entering its final day as delegates continue to grapple with a number of sticking points.

These include what level of scrutiny countries should face for delivering on climate targets, and funding for developing countries most affected by climate impacts.

UN Secretary General António Guterres said that a “blame game” was a recipe for mutually assured destruction.

He said trust between rich and poorer countries had broken down, and he urged them to agree on what he called an “ambitious and credible” deal.

Failure to resolve outstanding issues could see negotiators working into the weekend.
