* African leaders want concrete climate change agreements
* Zuma calls for less talk, more action (Corrects Odinga&${esc.hash}39;s title to prime minister from president in paragraph 2)
CAPE TOWN, May 5 (Reuters) - Africa will push for binding guidelines on reducing greenhouse gas emissions at a climate meeting in Durban at the end of this year, several regional heads of state said on Thursday.
"We hope Durban will come up with a legally binding agreement on emissions limits, which eluded the last two conferences," said Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, speaking at the World Economic Forum on Africa held in Cape Town.
Previous meetings did not see all nations commit to reducing carbon emissions by 2012, but at the last major summit rich countries agreed to finance ${esc.dollar}100 billion a year in climate aid for poor countries from 2020.
African leaders urged their international counterparts to be prepared for the Durban talks and not to use the time to raise unrelated issues.
"By the time we come to Durban, we need to narrow the gap, clarify matters and when we get there not to talk all the time but to persuade those having difficulties," President Jacob Zuma of host nation South Africa said.
"I will be happier if the agenda is clear... and we set priorities." (Reporting by Peroshni Govender; editing by Andrew Roche)
