The world watches as leaders meet in Paris from November 30 – December 11, 2015 for the 21st Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 11th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP) in Paris, France. Considering one of the world’s most disastrous phenomenon, climate change and the detrimental impacts that are expected to emerge or have already surfaced such as rising sea levels, increased incidences and intensity of natural disasters, decreased food production capabilities and health impacts among others, many anticipate that COP 21 must culminate with a legally binding agreement that will enable mankind to have a sustainable future.
