- Deliberations at COP21 and Paris Agreement demonstrates the collective wisdom of world leaders to mitigate
- Climate Change remains a challenge but Paris Agreement demonstrates how every nation rose to the challenge, working towards a solution.
- Outcome of Agreement has no winners or losers. Climate justice has won and we are all working towards a greener future.
The word "historic," already being used to describe the just-accepted Paris climate agreement, is more than warranted. The world will now have a new and comprehensive regime in place to shape how its diverse nations go about the urgent task of reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. That's why climate activists are ecstatic the world over right now. It's a big deal.
