as "last great chance".

ollywood star Sean Penn said Sunday the upcoming climate talks in Paris were the "last great chance" to stop the planet overheating.

Penn, one of Hollywood's most socially engaged actors and directors, was in the French capital to meet Environment Minister Segolene Royal with less than a month to go until the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference begins.

"I think it's the last great hope in particular because of the way the French leadership has taken leadership in this. We can only be optimistic, there is no other choice," Penn told AFP in an interview.
