This is the first time I’ve posted about a news story, but I’m really happy about this one:

The agreement which has just been reached at the COP21 climate conference in Paris, to curb carbon emissions and head off the more dangerous ramifications of climate change, is the most important one so far this century. It’s not comprehensive, it’s not perfect. But it puts us in a good place to push on and make it work.
It’s the start of a very long and difficult process but the consequences of failure are unthinkable. But now 195 countries have agreed a framework to try to achieve some level of climate stability as a result of human activities, so the initial steps have been made. Hats off to the French for driving it and all the other negotiators for working to reach such a vital agreement.

I hope 2015 is the start of something big and that the Paris Agreement will ultimately help to ensure the survival of lots of species like this one!
