Your Excellency Mr. François Hollande, President

of France, Distinguished Heads of State and Government, Your Excellency Mr. Laurent Fabius, President of COP21, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

You are here today to write the script for a new future, a future of hope and promise, ofincreased prosperity, security and dignity for all.

In September, at the United Nations, you adopted an inspiring, new sustainable developmentagenda with

17 sustainable development goals, endorsed by all the people of the world.

You showed your commitment to act for the common good.

It is now time to do so again.

More than 150 world leaders have come to Paris

and are here together in one place, at the sametime, with one purpose.

We have never faced such a test. A political moment like this may not come again.

But neither have we encountered such a great opportunity at this time.

You have the power to secure the well-being of

this and succeeding generations.

I urge you, distinguished leaders, to instruct your ministers and negotiators to choose thepath of compromise and consensus and if necessary, flexibility. Bold climate action is in thenational interest of

every single country represented at this conference.

The time for brinksmanship is over.

Let us build a durable climate regime with a

clear rule of the roads that all countries can agreeto follow.

Paris must mark a decisively turning point.

We need the world to know that we are headed to a low-emissions, climate-resilient future,and that there is no going back.

The national climate plans submitted by more than 180 countries as ours today, cover close to100 percent of global emissions.

This is a very good start. But we need to go much faster, much farther if we are to limit theglobal temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius.

The science has made it plainly clear.

Even a 2-degree Celsius rise will have serious consequences for food and water security,economic stability and international peace and security.

That is why we need a universal, meaningful and robust agreement here in Paris.

I see four criteria for success.

First, the agreement must be durable.

It must send a clear signal to markets that the low-emissions transformation of the globaleconomy is inevitable, beneficial and already under way.

It must provide a long-term vision that anchors the below-2-degree-Celsius goal, and recognizesthe imperative to strengthen resilience.

The world’s Small Island Developing States have even less room to manoeuvre, and aredesperately asking the world to keep temperature rise to 1.5 degrees.

Second, the agreement must be dynamic.

It must be able to accommodate changes in the global economy, and not have to becontinually renegotiated.
