Climate deal to keep rises below 2C

Organisers of climate talks in Paris have released details of a proposed landmark deal to curb climate change, reports BBC.

France`s Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the final draft of the deal was fair, legally binding and would limit warming to "well below 2C".

The final draft agreement is being presented to international delegates in Paris after two weeks of talks.

If endorsed, the global climate pact would represent "a historic turning point", said Mr Fabius.

"It confirms our key objective, the objective which is vital, that of continuing to have a mean temperature well below two degrees and to endeavour to limit that increase to one point five degrees," he told countries.

The agreement would be reviewed every five years, he added.
