The stake of 2015 Paris climate summit is enormous. The goal of this year’s climate conference is to reach a new global, ambitious, preferably legally binding agreement in which all countries of the world make pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to shift to low carbon economy in the long run. The main objective is to keep the global temperature rise under 2 degrees Celsius, avoiding the threating weather events of climate change. The new climate agreement would enter into force as of 2020. However if happening, it will be seen in the next 2 weeks.
The world leaders event was held on the first day of the climate conference where President François Hollande and Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius as the hosts of COP21 welcomed 150 heads of state and government. At this occasion President János Áder took also the floor emphasizing the urgency to act regarding climate change. The high level segment will be held during the second week of the climate summit where ministers could deliver speech on fighting climate change. Minister of State András Aradszki from the Ministry of National Development will represent Hungary at this event.
