Saturday, December 12, the most historic agreement on climate change was signed at the closing of COP21. The President Hollande joined to encourage the team leaders, and persuade parties of UN, to reaching an agreement whose depends upon the planet's survival. Here is an excerpt of his best speech to date on the planet.-------------------------------------------------------- “Ladies and gentlemen delegates, You have worked hard and I want to express the gratitude of France for discussions you conducted here in Paris, day and night and sometimes more at night than during the day, to seek the agreement was not found until there. All these efforts must now find their conclusion, what would have served these shared time, these multiple initiatives, the will of all the continents, what this work would have served if it does not lead to a binding and differential universal agreement.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are now at the decisive moment, the only valid question to which only you can provide the answer. Do we want an agreement? The agreement that has not been found in Copenhagen; this stalemate which for years has been a huge disappointment. For those who wanted the planet to have a future; this impasse that could cast doubt on the ability of the international community to act. Well, it's by yourselves, by the progress that you've been able to accomplish in recent months, and especially in recent days, it is due to you and you alone do have the answer!------------------------------------------------------- We have to take the final step, the one that achieves the goal, the decisive step. The text, which was prepared and submitted to you, is both ambitious and realistic. It combines responsibility and particularly that of the richest countries; and at the same time differentiation. It grants to the most vulnerable developing countries and the means that have been promised. It sets review mechanisms that are essential for the credibility of the agreement. This text will, if you decide in the first universal agreement in the history of climate negotiations.

You will make a choice, a choice for your country, your continent for a choice but a choice for the world. It will be a major act for humanity. That is why, at this stage of the negotiation, at this final stage of the Conference, I wanted to be with you. Because I am custodian - like you - the mandate entrusted by the 150 Heads of State and Government, who came at the beginning of the Conference to raise the commitment that there would be an agreement in Paris. But also ambition, hold the objective of 2 degrees, do everything even to be 1.5 degree, because it is our responsibility, because this is the decisive issue, because a warming would go beyond could seriously achieve the balance of the planet.---------------------------------------------- To achieve this, we have set up new dates, to review national contributions, to review the financial commitments. As stated by the President of the COP, the agreement will be not perfect if each person reads it in the light of one's own interests. But it will be a success for all because what unites us is the planet itself. Stated President Francois Hollande
