Cop’21: President Paul Biya participates

The Presidential couple of Cameroon, His Excellency Paul Biya and wife Madame Chantal Biya are presently in Paris-France for a World Conference on Climate, COP’21.

The UN conference that opens this Monday, November 30 with some 150 monarchs, Heads of State and government officials in attendance is expected to design concrete solutions that will help redress environmental issues plaguing the world.

Cameroon’s participation in Climate Change summits like the ongoing summit in North of France has been glairing since the 1992 Rio de Janeiro world summit

Cameroon’s President, Paul Biya has been devoted to climate change, but more importantly his steadfast commitment to seeing the climate change issue properly addressed through numerous and pertinent declarations has been a preoccupation.

At the 60th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2005 in New York, Paul Biya renewed his commitment to fight climate change through a plea for the introduction of meaningful policies that will protect the environment and the Congo basin.

The stakes for Cameroon and world leaders in Paris will be to see how far the world has gone with the decision to contain global warming at the maximum 2°celsius as prescribed at the Copenhagen summit of 2009.

The Paris Summit that runs from November 30 to December 11, 2015, will be a platform for the 150 participants to draft a document that will be a manual to the world at a time climate change has become a cry for all.

For the next eleven days, these world leaders meeting at Le Bourget in the north of Paris will discuss environment and terrorism understandably due to the recent terrorists attacks in Paris-France amongst others.
