Luisa Neubauer, a prominent German activist with Fridays for Future, told DW that world leaders underestimate "the amount of mistrust" felt by vulnerable countries at this year's UN climate talks in Egypt.

The UN climate summit in Egypt is heading into at least an extra day. Perhaps the main issue where delegates have not been able to reach a deal is "loss and damage" payments.

Blocking roads and runways has been divisive, and some countries are taking a hard line against further disruptions.

In many ways, last month's COP27 climate summit was yet another disappointment.
