It has been a long few days, and years some would argue, to get this deal over the line.

And UN Secretary General António Guterres has praised the work of those who have been working and pushing from the sidelines.

In a tweet he said he wanted: "to pay tribute to the women, youth, indigenous people and all members of civil society".

I want to pay tribute to the women, youth, indigenous people and all members of civil society pushing leaders for real #ClimateAction - here at #COP27 and around the world.

Let’s keep up the fight for climate justice, ambition & a greener, sustainable future for all. pic.twitter.com/Qlk7J01zEg

Despite praise for their role, BBC analysis conducted earlier this week, found that the participation of women in the negotiations still remains very low and was down on last years' summit in Glasgow.

Of the 110 world leaders that attended at the beginning of week one - just seven were women.
