New President of COP 21/CMP 11
**Meet the conference hosts**
"The Paris UN Climate Conference represents an historic opportunity to put the
world on course to meet the climate change challenge. The world needs a new
model of growth that is safe, durable and beneficial to all. COP21 seeks to
deliver a clear pathway with short and long term milestones, and a system to
help us measure and increase progress over time until we get the job done.
The Paris Agreement is not only possible, it is necessary and urgent. We are
counting on everyone’s contribution."
Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary UNFCCC

“Everything must be done to make the Paris conference a success.
If we don't reach an agreement in December, the global public, who are looking
at us, wouldn't understand. Our fellow citizens know that later will be too
late.
So we, ministers and negotiators, must show ourselves equal to the challenges
and to our responsibilities. Collectively, we must find the path to an
ambitious compromise. Together, we can build hope.
It will be my role to get across this message with a single aim: to achieve in
Paris on 11 December the success the whole planet is expecting.”
H.E. Mr. Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International
Development of France and President-Designate of COP 21 and CMP 11
