"Laurent Fabius tells negotiators for 195 countries to find compromises in Paris as European negotiator warns of ‘very slow’ progress on climate deal".
"France’s top diplomat Laurent Fabius, presiding over 195-nation talks for a UN climate pact, urged negotiators on Wednesday to pick up the pace so as to finish the job by 11 December.
'My message is clear: we must accelerate the process because there is still a lot of work to do,' he told journalists on the sidelines of the UN conference in Paris’ northern outskirts.
'Options for compromise need to be found as quickly as possible,' he added.
'Heads of state and government on Monday gave us an unambiguous mandate, and we must succeed.'"
