Delegates suffer as COP talks drag on

Delegates and observers at COP27 in Sharm el Sheikh Egypt, were sleeping in hallways outside the main plenary building on Sunday.

Climate talks in Egypt have stalled at the 12th hour after a last-minute fight over emissions cutting and the overall climate change goal.

The delay could threaten a potentially historic deal that would create a fund for compensating poor nations that are victims of extreme weather worsened by carbon pollution.

A plenary meeting scheduled for around 9 p.m. to approve an overall agreement was pushed back by several hours. Ireland's environment minister said early Sunday that parties were still awaiting an overarching draft of the U.N. climate summit's final document.
