France: Kiribati’s president calls for “substance to the pledges“ on climate change

Anote Tong, the President of island nation Kiribati, urged delegates to the UN 2015 COP21 Climate Change Conference to “stand united“ in the battle against climate change, during a speech to world leaders in Paris on Monday. However, despite his call for unity, he made it very clear that the small-nations are seeking “substance to the pledges,“ signifying support for binding resolutions or even a treaty that follows the COP21 discussions.
