Small island nations have called for stronger climate action at the COP29 summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, amid signs that the world has yet to honour its pledge to move away from fossil fuels.

Meanwhile, a fresh draft of a UN climate deal suggests most developing nations are in favour of an annual commitment of at least $1.3 trillion from wealthy countries. Jack Board reports from Baku.
