"The UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has urged countries to take urgent action on climate change, as UN talks enter their second week."
"The committee, comprising 14 aid agencies, said Typhoon Haiyan was a glimpse of the future for millions who will be at risk from extreme weather.
It said the meeting in Warsaw should agree to rapidly cut carbon emissions.
But negotiators say such action is unlikely as a global deal is not expected until 2015."
Matt McGrath reports for BBC News November 17, 2013.
