The French ecology minister calls for the swift implementation of the COP21 deal

UNITED NATIONS, United States – The 195 governments that clinched the Paris climate deal must now turn their pledges into concrete action, France’s ecology minister Segolene Royal said Monday, January 11 (Tuesday, January 12 in Manila).

Fresh from meetings with US businesses in California, Royal held talks with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York to discuss how to move quickly to implement the deal on curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

“Every country will now have to turn their national commitments into concrete action,” Royal said. 

A formal signing ceremony will be held at the United Nations on April 22, Earth Day.

Invitations are going out this month for the formal signing ceremony that France and the UN hope will be attended by heads of states or governments to “maintain a high-level commitment” to the agreement. – Rappler.com
