From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 20 December 2022

A deal to protect life on Earth has been agreed to at a UN biodiversity summit - COP15 - in Canada. 

The plan aims to put thirty percent of the planet under safeguarding measures by the end of the decade. 

It is being called "historic" by some environmental groups but some countries are unhappy with parts of the deal. 

Carbon Brief special correspondent Daisy Dunne has been at the meeting in Montreal. 

She spoke to Gyles Beckford.
