Australian Broadcasting Corporation: French climate change activists have been placed under house arrest ahead of the opening of the UN climate change conference in Paris.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Despite pumping as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as the next four biggest polluters combined, China will use this week's UN conference in Paris to stake a global leadership claim on climate change.

Climate Home: There are many reasons to be optimistic world leaders will secure a deal in Paris next month that limits the damage wreaked by climate change. The French hosts have gone all-out on diplomacy, 179 countries have submitted climate pledges and the biggest emitters are on board.

All the same, getting agreement...
