Áder invited to next Paris climate summit

The chiefs of the United Nations and the World Bank, and the French president have jointly invited the Hungarian president to attend next month’s Paris climate summit.

In their letter addressed to János Áder, Antonio Guterres, Jim Yong Kim and Emmanuel Macron noted that Paris will host the summit on December 12, marking the day a landmark climate agreement was adopted in the French capital in 2015.

They said in the letter, a copy of which was released to MTI by Áder’s office on Friday, that

they invite the Hungarian president to join the summit aiming “to foster a high-level political impetus on climate action and to intensify the mobilization of all actors”.

“Climate action requires the full mobilization of the international community. The United Nations, the World Bank Group, and major partners from all over the world have agreed to accelerate our collective effort and gather all our energies to tackle climate disruption,” they said.
