There are fears the commitment to a key warming limit may soften as nations seek agreement in Egypt.
One of the big concerns though is that as the organisers struggle to find a way forward, a clear statement on the commitment to 1.5C figure might be fudged.
Such are the differences between countries here, there are fears that the final document being drafted by the Egyptians may dilute or exclude the 1.5C goal. "The cover text must make sure countries are fully committed to the 1.5C target," said Laurence Tubiana, one of the architects of the Paris climate agreement and head of the European Climate Foundation.
Representing the 46 countries that are most vulnerable to the impacts of rising temperatures, they are resolutely opposed to any watering down of this key commitment. Progress on the challenging issue of loss and damage will also be key as to whether COP27 is a success or failure.
