A special working group involved in the Paris climate change talks will start its session a day earlier than scheduled to give more time to finalize negotiations on the draft Paris Climate Package, an official announced on Wednesday.

The second session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP) will be resumed on November 29 in Paris, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Christiana Figueres.

The meeting was initially scheduled for November 30 when the official opening ceremony will be held in Le Bourget where 147 heads of state and government will participate in the COP21 to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, from all the nations of the world.

"An early opening of the session will offer an opportunity to make the best possible use of the very limited time available to finalize negotiations on the draft Paris Climate Package," said Figueres in a press release.

The COP21 will be held from November 30 to December 11 in Le Bourget in northern Paris.
