Fight climate change like we battle COVID-19, says Paris Accord’s chief negotiator

Laurent Fabius, President of the COP21 Paris Climate Conference, says he wished world powers had fought global warming as resolutely as they have confronted the COVID-19 pandemic. “Unfortunately, we are not doing as much to fight climate change as we are to tackle the fallout from COVID,” said Fabius, who brought down the gavel to seal the Paris Accord on climate change five years ago.
