Watch | PM Modi arrives in Paris for Climate Change Summit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Paris on Sunday to attend the World Climate Change Conference 2015 (COP21). Almost 200 nations will meet in the French capital on Monday to try and seal the crucial climate deal. The meeting is critical because for the first time in over 20 years, a climate meet will aim to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate to keep global warming below 2 ºC. Scientists say is vital if the world is to avoid the most devastating effects of climate change.

The summit will run until December 11. During his visit, Prime Minister Modi will deliver a speech on India's Strategy to contain global warming on Monday at the Leaders Event of the conference. The Prime Minister is also expected to speak on steps taken by India to reduce its carbon footprint and on serious consequences of the global warming.
