The climate summit in Paris can be “the turning point” of global efforts to limit future increases in global temperature. So President Barack Obama to Paris this morning opened the long-awaited world summit on climate. “The next generation is watching,” Obama said to the delegations’ climate change may define the boundary of this century more than any other challenge. ” “I came here to say that the United States not only recognize the problem but have pledged to do something.”

“The agenda is the fate of humanity.” Thus, in an interview with the newspaper “20 minutes”, Francois Hollande gave a sense of the climate conference which opened this morning in a Paris vault for the terrorism alert and yesterday’s clashes – 317 arrests and 10 police officers injured. French President and Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived in Le Bourget, north of the capital, to welcome 150 world leaders attending the UN climate conference XXI (COP21) and the eleventh meeting of the Parties to the Protocol Kyoto. The summit will last 12 days. He spoke first to Manuel Pulgar Vidal, the Peruvian Minister of Environment and President of the Conference last year (COP20) in Lima. Chaired by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, to the first session of the work involved the responsible UNFCCC Christiana Figueres and Prince Charles (the site is http://www.cop21paris.org).

COP21 climate is a historic opportunity for a breakthrough groped against global warming. The conference will seek an agreement limiting global warming to 2 degrees above pre-industrial. In view of the conference of 183 countries presented 195 commitments to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. These commitments, which in itself represents a significant step forward, however, would lead to a warming of close to 3 degrees, then insufficient to achieve the goal. The summit aims to outline so for decades to the mechanisms of upward revision of the agreement but it is almost certain that you will reach the obettivi, you will do what you must do.

In Paris he’s President Barack Obama on the agenda today two bilateral meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and and the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, leaders of the two Asian countries key to the success of the summit. President Obama arrived at Bourget with Secretary of State John Kerry, after a long handshake from Hollande, was welcomed by UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon, secretary of the UNFCCC Christiana Figueres, by the foreign ministers and of ‘French Environment Laurent Fabius and Ségolène Royal.
