There are just 100 days to go until world leaders head to Copenhagen to draw up an international agreement to tackle climate change.
Participants at the United Nations climate change conference, which begins on 7 December, aim to agree binding targets to cut carbon emissions which will come into force when the targets agreed under the Kyoto Protocol end in 2012.

More than 180 countries including the UK are expected to attend the two-week conference, which will continue the negotiations held in Bali in 2007 and in Poland in 2008.
Earlier this year, the Government published its Roadmap to Copenhagen, outlining its ambitions for the meeting.
These included cutting global emissions by at least 50% by 2050 and compared to 1990 levels, and providing a global fund of $100 billion a year by 2020 for climate mitigation work in the developing world.
