The United Nations is reporting that negotiations at the Copenhagen climate summit are progressing too slowly after developing countries won concessions.
The UN\'s Climate Chief, Yvo de Boer, said there is still a lot of work left to be done before a final deal can be signed.
Delegates are currently looking over the details of a new draft text, ahead of the start of the conference\'s high-level segment on Tuesday evening.
About 120 world leaders will attend the summit\'s final session on Friday.
The Climate Chief said that while some progress has been made, it has not been significant enough.
The talks were temporarily suspended yesterday after a delegation representing developing nations withdrew their co-operation.
The Danish conference hosts had been accused of trying to sideline negotiations on the Kyoto Protocol, by packaging discussion of outstanding difficult issues from across the various strands into a single informal session.
