United Nations climate talks appeared to be nearing a conclusion after spilling into overtime Saturday, with a result likely to disappoint countries and advocates for stronger action to wean the world from the coal, oil and gas that is heating the planet.
Several observers told The Associated Press that the general framework of a deal is formed, but some sticking points still remain. The conference’s leaders are aiming for a late morning meeting with all nations to approve the deal. That’s a place where some nations could try to scuttle it if they prefer no deal to what they consider a feeble agreement.
