The Guardian and Observer climate justice appeal is to remain open for another few days after raising just short of 1m for charities supporting communities severely affected by climate-induced extreme weather events.

After a late surge in donations over the weekend, the total had reached 940,000 by midnight on Sunday when the appeal was originally scheduled to close. The appeal will now remain open in the hope it can hit the 1m mark.

Donations can be made online by credit card, debit card or PayPal, or by phone on 0151 284 1126. We are unable to accept cheques.
