ALL MAJORS WELCOME!

The UN Climate Change Conference (COP 21 / CMP 11) taking place in Paris November 30-December 11, 2015 seeks to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2⁰C.

Expectations are high on all sides – with optimists and pessimists alike touting this as our last chance to avert catastrophe.
