Sameh Shoukry, COP27 president and Egyptian host of the summit, has been giving an update on progress, after negotiations went on late into last night.
Acknowledging there was still “dissatisfaction” among parties, he urged them to “rise to the occasion and take upon themselves the responsibility of finding the areas of convergence”.
He said “a vast majority” of the parties had indicated the current agreement text as “balanced”.
“The world is watching, time is not on our side, we must all rise to the occasion, all must show the necessary flexibility,” he said.
