Paris Climate Summit Will Still Be Held

President Obama’s officials have confirmed he is still scheduled to travel to Paris for the forum, as is Mr Key.

More than 150 nations are expected to meet in Paris from November 30 to December 11 in a bid to strike a deal on carbon emissions regulations meant to keep the global average temperature within two degrees Celsius of what it was at the dawn of the industrial revolution.

“The feeling is we should go on with business as usual, because you can’t give in to these terrorists”, a European diplomat told Politico on Saturday, adding that his prime minister will attend.

Speaking partly in Filipino, Valte said that Mr. Aquino had not given yet his confirmation about attending the Paris COP before the terror attacks, and therefore any final decision to skip it should not be seen as impelled by security fears in the French capital.

On Saturday, an angry President Francois Hollande promised a “merciless” response to the wave of attacks by gunmen and bombers that killed 127 people across Paris, describing the assault, claimed by Islamic State, as an act of war.

An expert has said that Pakistan’s document containing commitments concerning climate change issues, which it has submitted to the United Nations ahead of the Paris summit, was a sham document and full of flaws.

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore was due to host the 24-hour live webcast from the foot of the Eiffel Tower to drum up attention for this month’s worldwide climate summit in Paris. “There might be certain others who will be afraid that these marches would be a target, though I would doubt it because there’s not really a precedent”. “Such events may not be cancelled but certainly be scaled down from security point of view”, said Sanjay Vashist, director of the Climate Action Network (CAN), South Asia.

Organizers have been hoping to imitate a “People’s Climate March” in NY a year ago that attracted hundreds of thousands of people, the largest protest against global warming in history.
