The United States has joined with the EU and a range of other countries at COP21 in an effort to secure a final agreement.

The so called "high ambition coalition" now comprises well over 100 countries from the rich and developing world.

As well as the US, Norway, Mexico and Colombia have offered their support to the alliance.

Delegates worked through the night on a draft text of the agreement with a further version likely on Thursday.

On Tuesday the European Union joined with 79 countries from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific to push for an "ambitious, durable and legally binding" deal with a strong review every five years.
