India, Nov. 14 -- Big fossil fuel producers and consumers at the COP31 climate talks are resisting any deal that would specify firm new targets or a shift away from oil, gas and coal, observers said on Friday as the first week of talks drew to a close. That poses a challenge for summit host Turkey and lead negotiator Australia, which has another week to land the kind of ambitious agreement climate advocates say is needed to address the worsening impacts of global warming. Turkey is striving to place a proposal to expand global electrification at the centre of an eventual deal.P19
