Heat is on for world leaders at opening day of crunch climate change talks
More then 150 world leaders will today kickstart talks that could lead to a historic climate deal. Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama will be among those attending the opening day of the United Nations summit in Paris. Expectations are high - more than 600,000 people in 175 countries marched at the weekend to demand a strong deal to curb greenhouse gases. The talks take place amid unprecedented security in Paris, where protesters clashed with riot police after a climate march was banned following the terror attacks in the city.

Lead negotiator for the UN, Christiana Figueres
The last major climate conference five years ago in Copenhagen was a chaotic failure, with leaders thrashing out a half-baked resolution in the final hours that failed to secure a universal target for reducing emissions. But in advance of the Paris talks 183 nations have submitted individual commitments, large or small, to slow global warming. The EU has pledged to cut greenhouse gases by at least 40% by 2030 while China has vowed that its emissions will peak by 2030.
The Paris agreement needs to bend the curve of emissions and also chart the path of continued decrease of emissions until we get the task done.
