The Paris
Agreement
& World Leadership
Original
Work
“So the question now is
whether we will have the
courage to act before it’s
too late. And how we
answer will have a
profound impact on the
world that we leave
behind not just to you,
but to your children and
to your grandchildren.”
US President Barack Obama,
Georgetown Address, June 2013
“I challenge you to bring
to the Summit bold
pledges. Innovate, scale
up, co-operate and
deliver concrete action
that will close the
emissions gap and put us
on track for an ambitious
legal agreement.”
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-
moon
“We are the first generation
to understand the
consequences of a high
carbon economy on the
planet, on future prosperity
and, in particular, on the
most vulnerable around the
world. Let us be the
generation that stands up
and takes the responsibility
conveyed by that
knowledge.”
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary,
UN Framework Convention on Climate
Change, May 2014
“Taking action now will
not only solve the
problem of protecting
the planet, but it will be
a tremendous boost for
economies.”
Dr. Jim Yong Kim, president,
World Bank, 2014
“The lack of action on
climate change not only
risks putting prosperity
out of reach of millions
of people in the
developing world, it
threatens to roll back
decades of sustainable
development.”
World Bank, 2012
“I was very struck by the
fact that the impacts of
climate change are
undermining a whole range
of human rights: rights to
food, safe water and health
and education. But it is also
displacing people, which is
very likely to cause not just
human distress but
potentially conflict. So for
me it’s a very, very serious
issue of human rights.”
Mary Robinson, UN special
envoy for climate change, 2013
“Tropical forests play an
absolutely critical role in
ensuring the stability of the
global climate; they are vital
in providing global food,
water and energy security;
and let us not forget that
reducing deforestation is
also very likely the single
most effective way of
avoiding the mass
extinction of animals and
plants.”
HRH the Prince of Wales, May
2013

The Paris Agreement

  • 1. The Paris Agreement & World Leadership Original Work
  • 2. “So the question now is whether we will have the courage to act before it’s too late. And how we answer will have a profound impact on the world that we leave behind not just to you, but to your children and to your grandchildren.” US President Barack Obama, Georgetown Address, June 2013 “I challenge you to bring to the Summit bold pledges. Innovate, scale up, co-operate and deliver concrete action that will close the emissions gap and put us on track for an ambitious legal agreement.” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon
  • 3. “We are the first generation to understand the consequences of a high carbon economy on the planet, on future prosperity and, in particular, on the most vulnerable around the world. Let us be the generation that stands up and takes the responsibility conveyed by that knowledge.” Christiana Figueres, executive secretary, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, May 2014 “Taking action now will not only solve the problem of protecting the planet, but it will be a tremendous boost for economies.” Dr. Jim Yong Kim, president, World Bank, 2014
  • 4. “The lack of action on climate change not only risks putting prosperity out of reach of millions of people in the developing world, it threatens to roll back decades of sustainable development.” World Bank, 2012 “I was very struck by the fact that the impacts of climate change are undermining a whole range of human rights: rights to food, safe water and health and education. But it is also displacing people, which is very likely to cause not just human distress but potentially conflict. So for me it’s a very, very serious issue of human rights.” Mary Robinson, UN special envoy for climate change, 2013
  • 5. “Tropical forests play an absolutely critical role in ensuring the stability of the global climate; they are vital in providing global food, water and energy security; and let us not forget that reducing deforestation is also very likely the single most effective way of avoiding the mass extinction of animals and plants.” HRH the Prince of Wales, May 2013 Daily 10 Minutes – www.daily10minutes.webs.com Courtesy: Green Alliance
