Crucial UN climate talks, already into extra time, remained deadlocked as the developing countries rejected the compromise outline after the US and China clashed over the draft text of the envisioned global climate deal. Peruvian Environment Minister Manuel Pulgar Vidal, who is presiding over the talks, is currently meeting with the negotiators separately to discuss in detail their red lines and points of possible compromise on the draft text.

The negotiators from more than 190 countries, who have been in the Peruvian capital for about two weeks, have so far failed to reach a consensus on the formula of sharing the burden for cutting emissions, and who should pay.

Earlier, Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar delivered India's statement, saying a balanced approach in the draft text is required to make sure polluting countries pay and not the poorest countries. He said, what the like-minded developing countries, least developed countries and the Africa group are saying must be appreciated because they are all speaking their heart. Mr Javadekar said India supports the genuine concerns of these groups. India stuck to the consistent position that all the elements of adaptation, mitigation, finance, technology, and capacity building should be included in the intended nationally determined contributions.

Meanwhile, the US has warned that the failure in arriving at an agreement may doom the envisioned global pact to be signed in Paris next year. US' Special Envoy on Climate Change Todd Stern said that though no parties are perfectly happy with the text, they need to take into account that the success of this year and next year are at stake and that parties should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good here in Lima.
