- Delegates are gathering in China for the final round of UN climate talks before this year's summit in Mexico, which begins at the end of November.
- The meeting is expected to produce a draft negotiating text that nations will debate at the Cancun summit.
- Last year's summit in Copenhagen, billed as a make-or-break year, ended in disarray without a legally binding deal to curb global climate change.
- The meeting, being held in Tianjin, is scheduled to last until Saturday.
The agenda at the meeting in Tianjin will focus on two main topics:
- Industrialised nations' commitments under the Kyoto Protocol, including further emission reductions after 2012, when the current period ends
- Preparation of a draft negotiating text for the Cancun summit
