Pacific nations push to lock in 1.5C goal at COP talks

Original: Pacific nations seek to entrench 1.5-degree target in COP climate talks

Pacific island nations are pressing for the 1.5-degree Celsius warming limit to be firmly entrenched in negotiations at the COP climate summit. The states, among those most threatened by rising seas, want the target preserved in the final outcome despite pressure from some larger economies to water down language. Reuters and other outlets report the diplomatic push is shaping up as a key flashpoint of the talks.

Why now: The COP climate summit is under way and the fate of the 1.5C target is a central negotiating issue.
