Top figures are calling for less talk and more action when it comes to fighting climate change.

World leaders, including major politicians from the UK, have been in Azerbaijan this week, trying to agree how to tackle the crisis at an annual climate conference called COP29.

A key question is how much money should be given to poorer countries to help them cope with rising temperatures and switch to greener energy.

While they chatted, children in Jakarta, Indonesia, were forced to trudge through flooded streets to get to school (above). In northern India, a dense smog caused by pollution shut primary schools altogether, and a damaging tropical typhoon hit Central America.

COP29 ends today (Friday 22 November), and many promises have not been made.

However, the UK has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 81% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels.

Another country that updated its promises was Brazil, which pledged to cut emissions 59-67% by the same year.
