Prime Minister Boris Johnson is returning to the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow - urging nations to " pull out all the stops" to limit warming.
The First draft of an Agreement setting out how countries will cut emissions to avoid temperature rises of above 1. 5C is due to be published later.

" We need to pull out all the stops if we're going to keep 1. 5C within our grasp. "
A coalition of nations which are vulnerable to Climate Change , along with the US and European nations, is pressing for countries to submit action plans in The Next year In Line with limiting warming to 1. 5C, and by 2023 to produce their long-term plans to meet The Target .

Thirty countries have agreed to work together to increase the use of zero emissions vehicles, while plans for " green shipping corridors" to help a shift towards zero-emissions vessels are also due to be unveiled.
Another 14 states which are responsible for More Than 40% of global aviation emissions have Committed to a new decarbonisation target.
But the UK's Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said travel, including flying, should be " guilt-free" and said the government did not see aviation as " the ultimate evil".
That changes to how We Live our lives should not mean " the inability to go and visit you friends and family and do business".
