Organisers of climate talks in Paris have released details of a proposed landmark deal to curb climate change, the BBC reported.

France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the final draft of the agreement aimed to limit warming to "well below 2C".

The final document has been presented to international delegates in Paris after two weeks of talks.
If endorsed, the global climate pact would represent "a historic turning point", said Mr Fabius.

French President Francois Hollande, who joined the meeting on Saturday, called the proposal unprecedented.

"The decisive agreement for the planet is here and now,'' Mr Hollande told countries. "France calls upon you to adopt the first universal agreement on climate.''

And UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on world diplomats to "finish the job".

"We must protect the planet that sustains us,'' he said. "We need all our hands on deck.''
