The UK’s minister for climate change has been talking to our colleague Fiona Harvey in the hallway. He told her he’d have liked to see more on coal, and also said that new licenses in North Sea are part of the transition away from fossil fuels. Interesting. Next up is Guatemala. The representative is speaking on behalf of the Ailac group of Latin American and Caribbean countries, and says they align themselves with the position of the G77 developing countries and China bloc.

The UAE consensus: a deal has been signed – but what kind of deal? As the deal goes through with stunning swiftness, Cop president Al Jaber has labelled it the “UAE consensus”, writes Fiona Harvey. But is this a historic deal that will spell the eventual end of fossil fuels? Or will it be one more step on the road to hell? In the world of climate talks, these two are not mutually exclusive.

After the UAE presidency’s first text of the global stocktake – the main document being discussed at the summit – was widely condemned as not being ambitious enough, a second draft has now been published. The proposed agreement calls on nations to transition away from fossil fuels to avert the worst impacts of climate change, writes my colleague Adam Morton.
