UN climate talks in Doha have yet to produce a deal the day after their scheduled close, with negotiators locked in a stand-off about funding, a delegate says.
"We do not expect a deal for at least several more hours," the official, who was closely involved in the talks, told AFP on Saturday.
Haggling at the UN meeting continued throughout the night and into Saturday morning.
Negotiators in Doha must extend the greenhouse gas-curbing Kyoto Protocol as an interim measure to rein in climate change and smooth the way to a new, global pact due to take effect in 2020.
But the issue of funding to help poor countries deal with the fallout from global warming and convert to planet-friendlier energy sources has hamstrung the haggling by envoys from nearly 200 countries gathered in the Qatari capital.
Developed countries are being pressed to show how they intend to keep a promise to raise climate funding for poorer nations to $US100 billion ($A95.8 billion) per year by 2020 - up from a total of $US30 billion in 2010-2012.
Developing countries say they need at least another $US60 billion between now and 2015 - starting with $US20 billion from next year - to deal with a climate change-induced rise in droughts, floods, rising sea levels and storms.
But the United States and European Union have refused to put concrete figures on the table for 2013-2020, citing the tough financial times.
There was also deadlock on a separate demand by least developed countries and those most at risk of sea level rise that provision be made for the losses they suffer because of climate change - a phenomenon they blame on the West's polluting ways since the industrial era.
