The conference observed a minute of silence to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13.
After a minute of silence, the discussions began with a speech by Peruvian Environment Minister Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, who moderated the 2014 conference's discussions, stressing that a climate agreement was the best way to overcome the horror of the recent terrorist attacks.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, President of COP-21, said the goal of the conference is to reach an ambitious agreement that all countries agree on.
