More than 40,000 delegates from 195 countries headed by US President Barach Obama and French President Francois Hollande including UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and Chinese President Xi Jinping are attending COP21 Climate Change Summit in Paris, France which has the goal of achieving a legally binding agreement to keep global warming below what most scientists say is the critical threshold of 2 degrees Celsius of global warming. World leaders will discuss the Earth’s atmosphere which is now overloaded with heat-trapping carbon dioxide and threatens large-scale disruptions in climate with disastrous consequences.
Sec-Gen. Ban’s office released a statement praising President Hollande and France for going ahead with the meeting despite the attack. He said he and the French President had agreed that “failure to reach an agreement was not an option.”
