UN Climate Summit was an opportunity to create constructive atmosphere to reach a new multilateral legal agreement next year

The UN Climate Summit, held in New York on Tuesday, was not regarded as part of the negotiations for the 21st Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2015, which is supposed to reach a new multilateral legal agreement to enhance the implementation of the convention, rather an opportunity to create a constructive and cooperative political atmosphere for the parties to express their political will and enhanced pledges to address climate change.
