It signaled the conclusion of a marathon 13- day negotiation between delegates representing nearly 200 different countries and regions, who had gathered in Paris. The representatives at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference made a deal that will go down in history as a rare moment of worldwide cooperation in the face of a monumental challenge, But as fellow negotiators hugged each other in celebration, grave concerns lurked in the recesses of their minds - this was just the beginning of a war against climate change that is expected to last for generations.展开更多
