A

round the world, people from all walks of life are standing together to demand a strong climate agreement in Paris and a healthy future for the planet.

It’s not often leaders from 195 countries meet in the same room together, but that is exactly what will happen in Paris this December at the twenty-first Conference of the Parties (COP 21) to the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change.

(This is an emotional appeal to decency; an argument that people should be moral in their decision making; that world’s decision makers should put people ahead of profit and that in their altruism, they should care equally for others as they do for themselves.
