Greenpeace says politicians have failed to keep the promises they made to lower their carbon emissions.
Executive Director of Greenpeace France, Jean-François Julliard says leaders must agree to reduce emissions faster.
He spoke at a meeting of world leaders about climate change.
“We have to accelerate on climate change action. And for this we need the political leaders to agree on a global response plan to ensure we can accelerate emissions reduction in key sectors like energy use, agriculture, forest use and land use. If we don't have this, this COP will be a failure at the end and would be deception at the end.”

Meanwhile Britain's Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, is promising the UK's biggest-ever effort in moving to clean energy and nuclear power.
He says he wants the UK to become a clean energy superpower that does not depend on oil.
"So the UK is doubling down on the fight against climate change as an investment in future generations, yes, of course, but also crucially as an investment in improving the lives of working people here are now. Our aim is very simple - to make energy a source not of vulnerability, but of strength."

And in cricket, India has beaten Australia at the T-20 international on the Gold Coast last night.
Indian player, Axar Patel, says bowling wicket to wicket was the most important thing in the last game.
"I had a chance because I went to the bat no. 7 so I think I could have a chance to look at the wicket and after I talked to the batsman there saying that wicket is not - unexpected bounce is there - and wicket is a little bit slower so I held my "poison" and just hit."
