According to the Independent Online, climate talks in Durban are on track to help poor and vulnerable nations deal with increasingly fierce heatwaves, storms and drought brought about by climate change, says the UN’s top climate official. "I am pretty confident that we are going to come out of Durban at the end of next week with probably the strongest package to support adaptation that we have ever had," said Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
