Following a year of record heat and drought, this year's UN climate summit will feature a contentious set of issues for countries working to find common ground in tackling climate change.

The high temperature is a result of burning of fossil fuels, which pumped in heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere.

To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, developing countries will require approximately $4 trillion annually for clean energy technologies by 2030.

World leaders will gather in Paris this week with ambitions to reimagine global financing for a new era shaped by climate change, as a cascade of crises swamps debt-burdened countries.

Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, COP28 UAE President-Designate, on Wednesday emphasised the need to mobilise resources and partnerships towards bold and transformative approach to climate action.

While addressing the United Nations COP27 summit, the US president affirmed that the US was ready to take back the leadership of fighting a warming planet.

Global COP26 climate negotiations are the "last, best hope" to keep the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C alive, said summit president Alok Sharma as he opened the meeting on Sunday.

COP26 President Alok Sharma on Tuesday asked world leaders to slash their emissions "immediately" to avoid failure at next month's summit and keep the Paris climate goals in play.

Apple CEO Tim Cook called on governments and businesses to implement stronger climate targets starting next year, during remarks at the United Nations' Climate Ambition Summit.

India is not only on track to achieve its Paris Agreement targets, but to exceed them beyond expectations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said during the Climate Ambition Summit 2020 on Saturday, highlighting that the country has reduced its emission intensity by 21 per cent over 2005 levels.
