Hollande sent a clear message to the 150 heads of state gathered for UN climate talks in Paris on Monday, telling them a "universal and binding" agreement must be reached because life itself was at stake.
The heads of more than 150 nations kicked off 12 days of talks in search of an elusive pact that would indirectly restructure the world economy, weaning it off fossil fuels that stoke global warming.
They met at a conference centre in Le Bourget on the northern outskirts of Paris under heavy security following terror attacks in the city which appeared to have galvanised commitment for a climate breakthrough.
It was the largest single-day gathering of heads of state or government in history, the United Nations said. http://www.thelocal.fr/20151130/life-is-at-stake-hollande-ramps-up-pressure
