The much-anticipated global climate conference kicks off the next two weeks in Paris; over today, 140 world leaders will discuss important climate change issues, ultimately leading to a historic global deal to reduce carbon emissions. 195 countries will be represented with 156 countries submitting Intended Nationally Determined Contributions ahead of the conference, which detail their separate climate and energy commitments. Reports released in the build up to the conference suggest current commitments will fail to limit global warming to the target of 2°C, however, many remain optimistic that over today there will be some major announcements to combat global warming.
