COP21: Climate deal 'final draft' reached in Paris

Speed News Desk | Updated on: 14 February 2017, 12:59 IST

Organisers of the climate talks in Paris say a final draft text has been reached after nearly two weeks of intensive negotiations.

An official in the office of French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told the AFP news agency the draft would be presented to ministers at 10:30 GMT.

No details of the proposed agreement have been released so far.

The tentative deal was reached nearly 16 hours after the talks had been scheduled to close.

"We have a text to present," the official reportedly said, adding that the draft would be now translated into the UN's six official languages.

Fabius, who has presided over the talks, had said earlier that the "conditions were never better" for a strong and ambitious agreement.
