| Protestors gather at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris declaring the climate agreement "too weak". |
PARIS —
Several thousand climate activists from across Europe and many from
farther afield gathered peacefully near the Arc de Triomphe on Saturday to
protest the outcome of the COP 21 climate conference about 12 miles away.
The demonstration was an official exception to a ban on
public gatherings across France after the Paris terrorist attacks in November.
Even as the delegates at the official conference center
reached a landmark accord and applauded their achievement, the crowds on the
street made clear their belief that it would take much more than the measures
in the deal to halt global climate change.
