The signing of the Paris climate agreement was an historic and momentous occasion. The fact that it is being ratified at speeds never seen before with any international agreement is a signal of how significant, important and urgent the task before us is. I was in Paris during the talks and I remember the day before the final agreement was reached I asked one of our officials what she thought. She said the devil was in the detail and in the extent of the detail. The agreement does not tell us exactly how we will cut our emissions.
Good day, Danny. We will talk to you later in the corridor.
