COP 21
The Paris climate summit, known as COP
21, took place in November-December 2015. The summit’s key objective
was to agree on an international accord to keep global average
temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius. Cities were a significant
actor in this process and now are positioned to play a key role in the
implementation of the Paris outcome.
The head of the Paris Conference, France's foreign minister Laurent Fabius, said this "ambitious and balanced" plan is a "historic turning point" in the goal of reducing global warming.[7]
One year on, the ratification of the Paris Agreement was celebrated by the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo by illuminating the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, Paris' most iconic monuments, in green.
The Paris deal is the world's first comprehensive climate agreement.
